を (日本語能力試験 N5)

「を」の情報

In Japanese, を is a particle that marks the object of an action. This means that the subject (the person or thing performing an action) is performing that action with the object being the goal/target of the action. In most cases, whatever を is attached to will not actually be 'doing' anything, but will instead have something being done to it.

In these sentences, を is marking the thing that is having an action performed 'on' it. This is how the Japanese language views the 'object'. However, unlike English, an object can also be a place in which an action is performed 'through', if the goal of that action is based in that location itself.

In these sentences, を is marking the place 'through' which the action is taking place. This use of を highlights that the place itself is what is being interacted with (running/walking requires interaction with the ground, so the ground/place is the object).

In this Topic, we're going to get our first look at Japanese verbs, and learn about two main types. る-Verbs and う-Verbs. Knowing the difference is important, as it affects how they conjugate (change so other words can attach to them).

Is it a thing to use を multiple times in a sentence? I’d not noticed that before until I saw this sample sentence on WK:

人を手を使って招くことを「手招きする」って言うんですよ。
It’s called “beckoning” to use your hands to invite people in.

The double-を at the beginning threw me off. Having read the English translation, I think I get how it breaks down but I’d like to confirm with someone who knows better! (And of course while writing this I noticed the third を before the quote…)

人を (手を使って) 招くことを「手招きする」って言うんですよ。
using your hands
(人を) 手を使って (招く) ことを「手招きする」って言うんですよ。
invite people in (using your hands)

…and honestly I’m not sure how the を before the quote fits in.

@darzington I’d break it up like this:
手を使う = use (your) hands
手を使って招く = use your hands and invite = beckon with your hands
人を手を使って招く = beckon a person with your hands
人を手を使って招くこと = the act of beckoning a person with your hands = [A]
[A]を[B]って言うんですよ = (we/they) call [A] [B] = we/they call the [A] thing as [B]
I added more words because just “[A] [B]” might be confusing.

So then,
人を手を使って招くことを「手招きする」って言うんですよ。
(we/they) call the act of beckoning a person with your hands「手招きする」.
–or– It’s called “beckoning” to use your hands to invite people in.

This sentence is unusual because it has so many を’s near each other, but it makes sense when you see each one belongs to a different verb.

Awesome, thanks!
