日本語の助詞について

質問

こんにちは。また助けてください。東京の語学スクールで日本語を勉強しているアメリカ人です。

日本語の助詞についてです。

My original sentence was

1）　　私はカラオケにいくのが好きだけど英語の歌しか歌わない。スクリーン”で”歌詞”は”早く変わってしまうからです。

Correction by a Japanese friend

2) スクリーン　”の”歌詞　”が”早く変わってしまうからです。

So, Partices(助詞？） is the most difficult points of Japanese grammar and I am not good at it and still have stupid mistakes.
I have actually read a book which contained an entire 30 page chapter just on the subject of 　”は”　"が””の”.

Does anyone can explain why　スクリーン　”の”　歌詞　”が”　is correct? I would figured it ON THE SCREEN so... の　is correct though but I am not
sure 100 %... As I don't understand whole Japanese perfectly, I need your ENGLISH explanation but not Japanese.
Your assistance would be highly appreciated. thank you.

誰か　助詞の”の”　と　”が”（この例文の場合の）について　なぜ　”の”　と　”が”が正しいのか英語で説明できませんか？ごめんなさい、私は日本語が全部
わからないので英語の説明がほしい。
助詞の説明を英語でするのはとても大変だけど、英語の先生とか英語がすごく得意な人がいたらお願いします。
よろしくお願いします。

1.　　　　One difficulty might be because some treat 「は」「が」and 「の」 on the same level.

I think 「が」 and 「の」 are case marking particles, such as subject or nominative case for "ga" and, possessive or genitive case for "no".

「は」 on the other hand, is not a case marking but a particle that can co-occur with case particles, indicating the main theme of the sentence, "contrast", and a few others, which your reference books must touch somewhere in the 30 some pages.

The co-occurrence is visible when they occur side by side without deletion, for example, これは家にはありません This is not in the house (ni + ha)　客は中国からは来ます　Guests come from China (kara + ha) フーラフープは家に中では使わないでください Don't use hoolahoops in the house (de + ha).

However, there s a rule which deletes "ga" when it is used with "ha". There is no ga + ha combination.

Coming back to your question, the theme marking 「は」 does occur in the main clause, in this case 私は(note the correct use of は)カラオケにいくのが好きだけど英語の歌しか歌わない, but not in the (reason giving) subordinate clause, in this case スクリーンが歌詞が早く変わってしまうからです。

2. The use of "de" instead of "no" is less noticeable. I think it borders on a matter of personal taste rather than an out and out mistake.

お礼

SPS700さんいつも英語で答えをありがとうございます。あなたはたくさん助けてくれましたね。
本当にありがとうを言いたいです。（make sense? I'm appreciate you very much)

I totally understand your answers below however unfortunately particles are still tough for me.
I am at mid-imtermediate level so .....

Well, sorry to stick you around, but could you please translate your following english into Japanaese? Because I want to know how to say it in Japanese. Of course I won't be able to understand perfectly though.

この↓↓文章だけ日本語に（？）してもらえませんか？宜しくお願いします。

A short answer to your excellent question.

>>As for No2, are you saying it not a big deal to use で instead of の　and seems like its someone's ( your ) prefernce?

It is "understandable" and there is no ambiguity or room for misunderstanding, to me that is enough. Some have narrower tolerance, chacun à son goût.

お礼

Thank you very much , Your answer was helpful and I understand now.
Everyone has own taste so if you can understand what I am trying to say, maybe you think
its NP. Thanks again for your help!

Sorry abvout my sorry English.

Coming back to your question, the theme marking 「は」 does occur in the main clause, in this case 私は(note the correct use of は)カラオケにいくのが好きだけど英語の歌しか歌わない, but not in the (reason giving) subordinate clause, in this case スクリーンが歌詞が早く変わってしまうからです。

　　　　ご質問ですが、主題を表す「は」は、「私は(この「は」は正しく使われています)カラオケにいくのが好きだけど英語の歌しか歌わない」のような主節では、使えますが.「スクリーンが歌詞が早く変わってしまうからです」のような（理由を表す）従属節では使えません。

2. The use of "de" instead of "no" is less noticeable. I think it borders on a matter of personal taste rather than an out and out mistake.

　　　　ここで、「の」の代わりに「で」を使うのはそれほど気になりません。明らかな誤用というよりは、好みの問題に近いと言えます。

お礼

Thank you so much. You are awesome and as well as your english skill.

As for No2, are you saying it not a big deal to use で instead of の　and seems like its someone's ( your ) prefernce?

Yeah, we have our OWN speaking/writing style which you are like nor which you don't use.
So ppl tend to make " beautifcation correction " which you are correcting someone.
間違っていないけど自分のスタイルになおすことはあまりよくないですね？

でも多くの友達は　スクリーンで歌詞は　isn't correct and it's not their prefence...
So now I am confused again...man Japanese is tough.

Thanks anyway for your help and I thank you from bottom of my heart.

補足

英語間違えていました

So ppl tend to make a" beautifcation correction " WHEN you are correcting someone.
