Hey! I am glad you found this useful!
Do you mean: ゆき ->は <- にほんのわかいおんなのこです。?
If yes, it is good to know that in Japanese, the hiragana character は is usually pronounced as "ha." However, when it's used as a grammatical particle, it is pronounced as "wa."
Here it is used as a particle that marks the topic of the sentence.
So, "ゆきは..." means "As for Yuki..." or "Yuki is ...", is the topic.
So, when は is marking the topic of a sentence, just remember:
- It's pronounced as "wa."
- It's written as は.
For example:
わたしはゆきです。
(Watashi wa Yuki desu.)
= I am Yuki.
But:
はな (hana) means "flower" and is pronounced "ha."
