A toilet flushing apparatus for firmly discharging a filth by a small amount of flush water and by a short period of time and still having a flush sound. The toilet flushing apparatus includes a first water supply supplying flush water to a toilet bowl of a toilet main body, a second water supply additionally supplying the flush water, a drain flow path communicated with a downstream side of a water seal portion of the toilet main body, an air sucking mechanism sucking air from the drain flow path, and a control apparatus controlling the first and second water supplies and the air sucking mechanism. The control apparatus produces a siphon operation by operating the air sucking mechanism continuous to operate the first water supply and to open an opening/closing valve through which flush water from the second water supply enters the toilet bowl, after forming a swirl flow inside the toilet bowl and before finishing the siphon operation.
