One by one
- 朝ご飯（あさ・ご・はん） → breakfast
- に → for
- 何（なに） → what
- を → no meaning
- 食べます（た・べます） → eat
- か → ?
Note 1: No ‘you’
あなた is ‘you’ in Japanese. There is no word for ‘you’ in the Japanese sentence above. This often happens.
Japanese people do not usually put あなた if it is clear enough to ask ‘you’ in the situation.
Note 2: Actual name instead of ‘you’
the person’s name plus は can be put at the start if you want to say ‘you’.
For example, if you talk with Ken（ケン）and ask what he eats for breakfast, you can say either of the sentences below:
- 朝ごはんに何を食べますか。
- ケンは朝ごはんに何を食べますか。
