Can I omit particles if the context is clear?

1. you can omit them occasionally to sound more casual, in the example you just used , you could definitely respond with “アメリカ” but don’t not use particles lol

2. In the example you used yes you can omit. You can even answer “アメリカ行きたい”

3. In casual conversation, yes, it’s totally normal to skip が に を, but not で or の

   But just so you know, while it is common throughout Japan, doing it excessively is (perhaps correctly) stereotypical of a Kansai dialect. Of course there’s more to a Kansai dialect than just that, but just fyi. I have a good insta reel saved with an example but I don’t know how to share that on Reddit lol

4. You can but I sometimes dont say the particles if I want to say what I want to say

5. From my studying I learnt that you don’t use particle “o” unless you are writing it on paper or phone or computer or anything like that, I don’t know if same applies to other or all particles.

6. As an extra heads up not related to your question, plain form + か feels very “country bumpkin” and isn’t a normal thing to say. Better to say どこに行きたい？or どこに行きたいですか。
