を (wo) Particle
Meaning:
The Direct Object of a Transitive Verb
The most common use of 「を」 is to indicate the direct object, or the thing directly affected by the action of a verb. It tells us what is being acted upon in the sentence.
Starting Point
When paired with verbs that indicate moving away or leaving, such as でる (leave) or おりる (get off), 「を」 marks the point from which the action begins.
Passing Point
「を」 can also indicate a place that something or someone moves through or passes, often used with verbs like とおる (pass) or わたる (cross).
For example:
