"I will have a party on Friday."
Translation:金曜日にパーティーをします。

金曜日に二十四時間パーティーをします！ Maybe like this? Putting the topic on the duration might be weird otherwise .
How I understand, you use "ni" when you say you are going somewhere, so you mark the location "to" which you are going . You use "ha/wa" when you add information like "on Tuesday". I might be wrong though.
You are a little wrong. は is used if you are talking about, or describing the say に. If you're talking about what will happen during ths time frame of Friday, you use に. に is a marker of a time period.

Felt the same about theoretical physics. Which ironically is easier to master than Japanese where the world "master" came from ^^.

Is this a Duke Nukem reference? Hey, whatever the answer, I choose to believe it is. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Getsuyobi 'ni' party oshimasu
Getsuyobi 'wa' party oshimasu
What is the difference between the two sentences?
isn't を optional in "します" cases, as it says in the "tips"? 金曜日にパーティーします is being marked wrong
を typically means an action is being performed. Think of パーティーをします as "doing a party." Hope this helps, and please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

It is (as I understand it) also used when you/other actively affecting the state of an (possibly abstract) object.. Like: りんごをください (hope there's no mistake here). Here you're asking for an action to performed on the apple(s). In the case of パーティーをします (hope no mistake here also), the party is the (abstract) object, that you have/throw/create.
That is how this works as far as I understand it. That into account that 235日は日本語が勉強します (pretty sure I got that one wrong ^^)

What is the difference between these two
1 " kinyobi wa party o shimasu"
2 "kinyobi ni party o shimasu
Would 金曜日はパーティーをします also work. It should be saying like speaking of Friday I'm going to have a party on that day.
I think it does work in this case. Before filling the answer I thought of "ha" not "ni" but it turns out to be "ni".
Why is it not "kinyoubi de" instead of "kinyoubi ni" since there is an action taking place and not just a location pointer?

金曜日 is a time not a location. The particle に is used to denote the time where an action happens. Days of week are special type of time that に is optional.

する - is plain speach for "to do", whereas します is its formal version (in present tense). And を is a particle indicating action. This may come in handy. It helped me organise things in regards to suru, aru, iru and desu: http://www.japaneseverbconjugator.com/Suru.asp
I keep getting the に and を particle placement mixed up on this question.
Could someone help me understand why they are in their specific placements/what do they mean in this scenario please

When you use に particle for location, it means "to/toward". For date or time, it means "on":
-
パーティー + に + いきました
(Literally) Party + to + went
I went to the party. -
金曜日 + に + いきました
(Literally) Friday + on + went
I went on Friday.
を particle is used with direct objects. For example, を gets attached to the object, パーティー, that you plan on having.
- パーティー + を + しました
(Literally) Party + for + to do (past tense)
I had a party.
For clarification I wrote 金曜日をパーティーにします
The Japanese word order usually goes like this:
TIME(に) + TOPIC(は) + SUBJECT(が) + OBJECT(を) + VERB
So what you wrote should be changed to
- 金曜日に(TIME)パーティーを(OBJECT)します。

Well, i really recommend to learn days of the week, you search "Cyber bunny" on youtube she teaches it made like a song hope it helps
I think the を needs to connect the noun to the verb, otherwise it would be a Yoda-speech equivalent in Japanese. Like "A party in friday I will have".
Not sure if starting with the day is the rule, I think the rule might be to start with setting up the context of what your saying, like (where, when, how) followed by the core of the sentence, like (have a party).
Take this with a full pack of salt since I'm new to Japanese myself, just a feel I've been getting.

I dont know how to type that ”ィ” in "パーティー". Is it a little size letter? How do I do that?
Hey, this is a question for Android users : when swiftkey doesn't suggest it, I'm struggling with my keyboard to get パーティー written. I mean it can be hard to get the ティpart. Is there a tip for writting composed kanas ? I think it is strange that I have to rely on suggestions and not the typing itself. Do you guys use other keyboards ? Thanks !
I use SwiftKey on android, and in order for me to type the smaller characters, they must be preceded by an 'x'. For example: ティ ー> texi
Hope this helps!
I think パーティー をする here in the sentence acts more like one complete verb that you shouldn't separate ("do a party/ have a party") instead of "do (verb) a party (object)". It's different from "eat an apple". I could be wrong tho >.< cmiiw!
Question: Can we not put a "ni" (に) here and just say "Kinyoubi parti o shimasu" (来曜日パーティーをします).

を is telling you that you do "party" - it marks the party as the objective of your action "do."
