It must be a typo. You need the wa particle, if the subject is inferred it would be like this...
Doko desu ka ----- Original Message ----- From: KoOkY! To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 9:58 AM Subject: [Japanese_Language] Newbie and question Hello! Just joined up today, or rejoined, I think I was here awhile back but forget exactly. But anyway, started teaching myself Japanese a bit again recently and learning some of the basic questions like doko, dare, ikutsu, etc. though ran into something that confused me with the 'wa' particle. One of the instructional books I found had this as an example: Doa doko desu ka. (Door where is it?) When I thought it would be: Doa wa doko desu ka. So if the subject is inferred you don't need the 'wa'? And does written Japanes use question marks or do questions in romanji (romanjii?) still just end with a period?
