One Piece (anime) (Advanced): Luffy vs World Government speech E278

💬 [あの] means "that" for something away from both speaker and listener. The matching set is [この] / [その] / [あの], so you can swap them: [この旗], [その旗], [あの旗].

💬 [は] here is the topic marker, so it's said (wa), not (ha). In a line like [マークは], it sets up "as for the mark..." before the rest of the statement.

💬 [は] is the topic marker and is pronounced (wa), not (ha). [あのマークは] means "as for that mark..." and expects the important part to come next.

💬 [4つ] uses [つ], the general counter for things: [1つ], [2つ], [3つ], [4つ]. [と] after a noun means "and," as in [パンとチーズ].

💬 [にある] means "to be located in/at" for places and things, not people. For people or animals, Japanese usually uses [にいる] instead: [東京にいる], but [東京にある店].

💬 [にある] is the pattern for "be located in," used for places and objects. You can reuse it with other locations: [日本にある], [町にある店].

💬 [以上] after a number means "more than" or "at least," depending on context. So [170か国以上] is "170 or more countries," like [3人以上] for "3 or more people."

💬 [以上] after a number means "more than / at least." You'll see the same pattern in things like [10人以上] or [5分以上].
