P-sound



In this article, please let me explain about "P-sound"!

However, if you have already understood the explanation about basic Hiragana and Dull sound, this article is quite easy for you!

   Basic Hiragana chart >>

   Dull sound >>


"P-sound" is quite similar to "Dull sound".

Let's look at the chart of the P-sound characters at first!


The chart of P-sound characters is below:

The line of P ぱ (pa) ぴ (pi) ぷ (pu) ぺ (pe) ぽ (po)



Is that all!?

Yes, that's all.

Only those 5 characters are P-sound in Japanese.


Let's compare them with basic Hiragana characters:

The line of H は (ha) ひ (hi) ふ (fu) へ (he) ほ (ho)



Did you notice the rule?

If you want to make the P-sound character, you just put a small circle at the upper right of the basic character.

The small circle is called "P-sound consonant mark".
Isn't this so similar to the rule of "Dull sound"?


In the next article, let's talk about Syllabic nasal!
