Need help understanding particles ga, to, and ano.

[fuyuaki3750]

I've been trying to understand the sentence structures, and for example.

Kono ga dochira oishii to momo to momo ano deus ka.

From what I have remembered. I think it means "how much is that peach and tha other peach over their?"

I could be wrong but I'm not sure.

Do you have this sentence from a book or write it yourself?

Apart from oishii meaning tasty and not how much (which would be ikura) I dont exactly get the right touch to this sentence

I would say

(which I dont thing is 100% right but ...)

Kono momo yô ni kore momo wa hô ga oishii desu ka?

Which would mean compared to this peach is that peach more tasty?

or
Kono momo to kore momo, dore ga motto oishii desu ka

this and and that peach, which is more tasty (done know if motto is the right word)

for how much is this and that I would use

Kono momo to kore momo wa ikura desu ga
This and that peach, how much are they

but I think this would mean how much are they together

For seperating I would use
Kono momo wa ikura desu ka, kore momo wa ikura desu ka
this peach cost how much, that peach is how much
------
to can mean
and, with and also for "it is" at things like to iu

examples
Xsan to Ysan wa Gakusei desu.
X and Y are Students


Xsan to Ysan isshou ni gakko e ikimasu
Xsan goes with Ysan to (the) school

Kono Gakko wa Z to iu (dont know ending')
This School is named Z

to is also used with omou (to think)
Ano onna no ko wa kirei to omou imasu
I think this girl over there is pretty

ano i just know as are no, meaning This Subjekt/Object over there (not near speaker or partner) see above example

with ga I too have my dear problems but this is what I believe to know

You can use it as "but"
Kono kisa wa ookii desu ga, hontô ni takai desu.
This Café is big but expensive

it also is the direct object Marke
Depado ni saifu ga (stolen))
At/In the Departmentstor my purse was stolen

I rember this with What was stolen the purse so the ga is connecting the verb with the object

With the other usages, like in passive and kausative, I am not 100% sure yet
but I think this things I mention should be correct

fuyuaki3750さん、

It seems to me that you've mixed up the word for "delicious" or "tasty" into a sentence that doesn't require it.

To ask, "How much is this peach?", you would say:

「このももはいくらですか？」-> "Kono momo wa ikura desu ka?"

Remember that we use "kono", not "kore" for objects, because "kore" means "here", while "kono" means "this".

Consequently, you could also ask:

「あのももはいくらですか？」 -> "Ano momo wa ikura desu ka?"

Which means, "How much is that peach [over there]?"

Now, if you wanted to ask about which peach was the cheaper of the two, you might ask:

「このももとあのももは、どちらがやすいですか？」 -> "Kono momo to ano momo wa, dochira ga yasui desu ka?"

Which means, roughly, "Which of these two peaches is the cheapest one?"


Remember that you can replace the word "yasui", meaning "cheap", with "oishii", meaning "tasty" or "delicious", and have the sentence, "Which of these two peaches is the tastiest one?"

Hope this helps.
