Key Phrase

Particle "ka" indicating a question: "Ka" is a particle that comes at the end of a sentence. It turns a sentence into a question as in "doko desu ka".
To ask for directions, say "[place] wa doko desu ka." "Wa" is a topic-marker particle that comes after a noun. It's written as "ใฏ (ha)" in Hiragana but is pronounced as "wa."
