The foundation sentence — the most basic way to say what something is.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
「〜は〜です」is the most basic Japanese sentence pattern, meaning "X is Y." Here は marks the topic of the sentence and です is the polite form of "to be." Example: 私は学生です (Watashi wa gakusei desu) = "I am a student." One important note — the topic particle は is pronounced "wa" here, not "ha."
