Help me finish this sentence by putting in the right relationals: "Amerika (relational [wa, ga, wo, ni, etc.]) (relational) kissaten ga arimasu ka?" Oh yeah. This is due tomorrow in the afternoon.

Arigatou gozaimasu! =P

は and に are useble. wa would be like "As for America, are there coffiehouses?" WA also gives more empahsis on the stuff after it. In addition, it sets up for a contrast from other countries. For ni its, "In america, are there coffie houses?

Wa is used for already introduced info. Its used for the topic of a sentence(not the subject) and tells you to look past it at the rest of the sentence. Ni in this case indicates a place for where an action or where something is located.

Since I'm assuming this is an early level Nihongo class, "ni" would probably be the answer they're looking for. Ninjabastard's answer is more thorough and correct, but "ni" is most likely what they're looking for.

Yeah I'd use ni too in this context.

dawg, you've got two relationals in there, right? so it's got to be 'amerika niha'
which'd be 'as for america, do they have kissaten?'
and you're good to go.
