When making passive sentences in the Japanese language, as well as it’s usage in certain situations, it differs from the passive in the Croatian language – which can make it, to some degree, some difficulties while learning and comprehending one part of the Japanese grammar and culture. On top of that, the research conducted on this topic is not so researched in the Croatian language. The purpose of this seminar is to give in the Croatian language a more concise and accessible explanation about one part of the Japanese grammar. After researching using a lot of different materials, web pages and after the comparison od some textbooks, we can make some conclusions. In the Croatian language, the „active sentence“ is the most widely used type of sentence and passive is just one other way how to say something we want to point out, while in the Japanese language it is not only that, but it includes (1) emotions of the person who suffers. Namely, when we use passive sentences in the Croatian language we don’t put any other special meaning to it, but in the Japanese language emphasis is put on the person which suffered because of the action; (2) the frequency of usage in the daily life – in Croatian we rarely use passive sentences while in Japanese is more frequently used on a daily basis. One other point is that it is not only important to learn the grammar. For more better way of understanding the passive construction in Japanese language, it is necessary to know about the culture and the people in Japan. Sometimes we can easily translate from a passive sentence to a passive sentence in the language we are translating, but sometimes we cannot do it and we have to do it by heart and as we thing it would sound good in the language we are translating.
