In the previous article, I explained about syllabic nasal.
Syllabic nasal >>
It is a small version of the character, つ.
Like that, there are other small characters in Japanese.
They are called "Contracted sound".
But the way to use them is a little bit different from syllabic nasal!
At first, let's check the chart of contracted sound!
The chart of contracted sound:
| The line of Ky | きゃ (kya) |
きゅ (kyu) |
きょ (kyo) |
| The line of Sh | しゃ (sha) |
しゅ (shu) |
しょ (sho) |
| The line of Ch | ちゃ (cha) |
ちゅ (chu) |
ちょ (cho) |
| The line of Ny | にゃ (nya) |
にゅ (nyu) |
にょ (nyo) |
| The line of Hy | ひゃ (hya) |
ひゅ (hyu) |
ひょ (hyo) |
| The line of My | みゃ (mya) |
みゅ (myu) |
みょ (myo) |
| The line of Ry | りゃ (rya) |
りゅ (ryu) |
りょ (ryo) |
| The line of Gy | ぎゃ (gya) |
ぎゅ (gyu) |
ぎょ (gyo) |
| The line of J | じゃ (ja) |
じゅ (ju) |
じょ (jo) |
| The line of J | ぢゃ (ja) |
ぢゅ (ju) |
ぢょ (jo) |
| The line of By | びゃ (bya) |
びゅ (byu) |
びょ (byo) |
| The line of Py | ぴゃ (pya) |
ぴゅ (pyu) |
ぴょ (pyo) |
As the table above, contracted sound is a sound written by two characters, one big character and one small character.
If you still don't remember basic Hiragana characters, please check the Hiragana chart below:
If you still don't remember ぎ, じ, or び, please remember the dull sound chart below:
If you still don't remember ぴ, please remember the P-sound chart below:
In the table of contracted sound, there are two lines of J.
Actually, the second line is not used normally.
So じゃ, じゅ, and じょ are normally used instead of ぢゃ, ぢゅ, and ぢょ if there is not some special reason.
Let's check some examples of contracted sound!
Examples:
Examples:
| English | Hiragana | Romaji |
|---|---|---|
| cat | きゃっと | kyatto |
| nuclear | にゅうくりあ | nyukuria |
| join | じょいん | join |
| pure | ぴゅあ | pyua |
If you don't remember the small character, っ for 'cat', please check the previous article.
Syllabic nasal >>
Right column of the table is written in Japanese alphabetic letter, called "Romaji".
As I told in previous article, if you are an English speaker, you might feel "cat" and "kyatto" sound different.
But Romaji is generally used in Japan to convert Hiragana and Katakana into alphabet.
Please check the article below for further information about Romaji:
