This is a discussion topic for the updated N5 Lesson 8 reading passages. (May 2024)
Hello! Can you please help me with understanding the use of a particle? Towards the end, A says βIs it okay to ride a bicycle in the park?β Why is it ε ¬εγ instead of ε ¬εγ«?
Could using γ« still make an acceptable sentence? Iβm struggling to break down the nuance here, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

γ is often used instead of γ« to indicate objects/places that are being travelled along or through. γ« indicates a destination, while γ§ indicates a specific use. γ just indicates the object of the action. The riding happened in the park. It was not the purpose, nor was it specifically being used, it just happened to be the object of the action of bike riding.
