They are so difficult to translate because they are so context dependent and the understanding of the change in meaning due to the addition of a particle is almost instinctual.

When I say in German, "Das Auto ist rot." Then it translates easily into the "The car is red." But if I add the particle "ja" and say, "Das Auto ist ja rot." then what I might mean is that I'm surprised that the car is red or that it's definitely obvious that the car is red.
