Questions & Answers about kanojo wa shigoto ga isogashikute mo, messeeji no henshin ga hayai desu.
Why are there both は and が in the same sentence?
They are doing different jobs.
- 彼女は sets the topic: as for her
- 仕事が marks the subject inside the clause 仕事が忙しくても
- 返信が marks the subject of 早い
So the structure is roughly:
- 彼女は = speaking about her
- 仕事が忙しくても = even if work is busy
- メッセージの返信が早いです = her message replies are quick
A very common pattern in Japanese is:
- Topic + は
- then inside the sentence, smaller parts still use が for their own subjects
So having both is completely normal.
What does 忙しくても mean, and how is it made?
