What exactly is the purpose of niwa? i know it's a combination of the particles "ni" and "wa", but what happens when you combine them? and in what situations would you use niwa?
Thanks
Niwa

Konnichiwa Jack!
Here's a short lesson on *NIWA*:
Let me explain it with some examples: :shock:
*Kono seetaa wa watashi __NIWA__ ooki sugiru*
_"This sweater is too big __FOR ME__"_
*Kono ringo wa taberu __NIWA__ mada hayai*
_"This apple is still too green __TO __eat"_
*NIWA * then means "for me" or "to"
I hope that cleared up your question a little!! :D
