へ
e (he) · to, toward (direction)
へ marks the direction you head in. It is written へ and read e, and with verbs of going it can usually swap with に.
How to form it
| Place + へ + 行く・来る・帰る | 東京へ行きます。 |
How it is used
へ stresses the direction of the movement, に the destination itself. With 行く, 来る and 帰る both are fine.
Only へ can be followed by の: 「母への手紙」, a letter to my mother.
Examples
Tap a kanji for its reading.
- 来週、京都へ行きます。I'm going to Kyoto next week.
- 早く家へ帰りましょう。Let's head home early.
- どこへ行きますか。Where are you going?
- これは先生への手紙です。This is a letter to my teacher.
Common mistake
- ✗ 駅え行きます。✓ 駅へ行きます。The particle is said e but written へ.
