Accordant acceleration & continued vowels

 18 June 08:14   __NOTOC__

    There are four consonants in Japanese, /p/, /t/, /k/, and /s/, that can get doubled. In this case they yield up an added beat (see the beat area below), but the accepted aftereffect is to admit a abeyance that sounds as continued as a approved affricate with a abbreviate vowel.

    For example:

    juppun - ten minutes

    chotto - a little bit

    gakko - academy

    kissaten - tea house

    Dont say the accordant twice, just create the average a bit longer. To get an idea, anticipate of map page, hot taco, ailing kid, nice seafood, etc.

    When two vowels are next to one another, their sounds becomes long. Actuality is how these continued vowels will be written:

    aa, ii, uu, ee, oo

    (In Hebon-shiki, it would be accounting a, i, u, e, o).

    Alternatively, you will aswell see ei and ou. Unless the e and the i (or the o and the u) are breach amid two words, these are arresting the aforementioned as e o.

    For example, arigatou is arresting as if its spelled arigato, while sensei is arresting as if its spelled sense.

     arigatou?a-ri-ga-to-o Acknowledge you

     sensei??se-n-se-e Teacher
