adverbial particle, delimiting particle
A category of Japanese particles that attach to words to add nuances such as limitation, emphasis, inclusion, or approximation. Unlike case particles (格助詞) which mark grammatical roles, adverbial particles modify the meaning or scope of the word they attach to.
「は」は副助詞に分類される。
"Wa" is classified as an adverbial particle.
副助詞の「も」は「同様に」という意味を加える。
The adverbial particle "mo" adds the meaning of "also" or "likewise."
