Hiragana

Dakuten

Dakuten Dakuten ( ﾞ ) and Handakuten ( ﾟ ) are marks placed after certain hiragana that modify the way the consonant is pronounced. These marks indicate that the consonant of the syllable should be voiced.

normal with dakuten ( ﾞ ) with handakuten ( ﾟ ) か = ka が = ga さ = sa ざ = za た = ta だ = da は = ha ば = ba ぱ = pa Exceptions edit “Shi” (し) turns into “Ji” (じ) “Chi” (ち) also turns into “Ji” (ぢ) “Tsu” (つ) turns into “Zu” (づ)

Iteration marks edit Iteration marks ( ゝ) indicate that a sound is to be repeated. Iteration marks can also be combined with dakuten.

normal with iteration ( ゝ ) with dakuten iteration ( ゞ ) す = su すゝ = susu すゞ = suzu

Sokuon edit Sokuon (っ) is a symbol consisting of a small Tsu (compare with normal Tsu: つっ). It is used to insert a slight pause.

For example: うた = song うった = hard

The Sokuon gives a pause to make a meaningful sound.

Chōonpu edit Chōonpu (ー) is a symbol used to indicate a long vowel sound. Long vowels can also be written by using the corresponding vowel hiragana.

normal with chōonpu ( ー ) is the same as ぷ = pu ぷー = puu ぷう = puu
