<p>Nastukta: Опечатка</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:japanese-alphabet-pronounciation.png|thumb|none]]<br /> <br /> Japanese language uses three ways to express sounds and writing ː Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji.<br /> <br /> There are to simple symbols tables called &quot;Hiragana&quot; and &quot;Katakana&quot; and the borrowed chinese caracters called Kanji.<br /> <br /> == Hiragana ==<br /> Hiragana is the most common character used to write things. You can find it everywhere, in restaurant name, dishes, train stations...<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |あ<br /> |A<br /> |か<br /> |KA<br /> |さ<br /> |SA<br /> |た<br /> |TA<br /> |な<br /> |NA<br /> |は<br /> |HA<br /> |ま<br /> |MA<br /> |や<br /> |YA<br /> |ら<br /> |RA<br /> |わ<br /> |WA<br /> |-<br /> |い<br /> |I<br /> |き<br /> |KI<br /> |し<br /> |SHI<br /> |ち<br /> |CHI<br /> |に<br /> |NI<br /> |ひ<br /> |HI<br /> |み<br /> |MI<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |り<br /> |RI<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |う<br /> |U<br /> |く<br /> |KU<br /> |す<br /> |SU<br /> |つ<br /> |TSU<br /> |ぬ<br /> |NU<br /> |ふ<br /> |FU<br /> |む<br /> |MU<br /> |ゆ<br /> |YU<br /> |る<br /> |RU<br /> |ん<br /> |N<br /> |-<br /> |え<br /> |E<br /> |け<br /> |KE<br /> |せ<br /> |SE<br /> |て<br /> |TE<br /> |ね<br /> |NE<br /> |へ<br /> |HE<br /> |め<br /> |ME<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |れ<br /> |RE<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |お<br /> |O<br /> |こ<br /> |KO<br /> |そ<br /> |SO<br /> |と<br /> |TO<br /> |の<br /> |NO<br /> |ほ<br /> |HO<br /> |も<br /> |MO<br /> |よ<br /> |YO<br /> |ろ<br /> |RO<br /> |を<br /> |WO<br /> |}<br /> Also, to form some sounds like Z, P or B we have to use some additional symbols to complete basic ones.<br /> <br /> '''゛'''　(dakuten) Makes K becomes G, S become Z, T becomes D, H becomes B<br /> <br /> '''°''' (handakuten) Makes H becomes P<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |が<br /> |GA<br /> |ざ<br /> |ZA<br /> |だ<br /> |DA<br /> |ば<br /> |BA<br /> |<br /> |ぱ<br /> |PA<br /> |-<br /> |ぎ<br /> |GI<br /> |じ<br /> |JI<br /> |ぢ<br /> |DI<br /> |び<br /> |BI<br /> |<br /> |ぴ<br /> |PI<br /> |-<br /> |ぐ<br /> |GU<br /> |ず<br /> |ZU<br /> |づ<br /> |DZU<br /> |ぶ<br /> |BU<br /> |<br /> |ぷ<br /> |PU<br /> |-<br /> |げ<br /> |GE<br /> |ぜ<br /> |ZE<br /> |で<br /> |DE<br /> |べ<br /> |BE<br /> |<br /> |ぺ<br /> |PE<br /> |-<br /> |ご<br /> |GO<br /> |ぞ<br /> |ZO<br /> |ど<br /> |DO<br /> |ぼ<br /> |BO<br /> |<br /> |ぽ<br /> |PO<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Notes ː <br /> <br /> as you can see, for &quot;W&quot; sound, there is only A and O. <br /> <br /> Concering the &quot;Y&quot; section, there is no I or E.<br /> <br /> Also, to form some sounds like Z, P or B we have to use some additional symbols to complete basic ones.<br /> <br /> '''゛'''　Makes K becomes G, S become Z, T becomes D, H becomes B<br /> <br /> '''°''' Makes H becomes P<br /> <br /> The pronunciation of じ and ぢ, ず and づ are the same.<br /> <br /> == Katakana ==<br /> <br /> Based on the same concept than hiragana, katakana is especially made to translate foreign names and words<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |ア<br /> |A<br /> |カ<br /> |KA<br /> |サ<br /> |SA<br /> |タ<br /> |TA<br /> |ナ<br /> |NA<br /> |ハ<br /> |HA<br /> |マ<br /> |MA<br /> |ヤ<br /> |YA<br /> |ラ<br /> |RA<br /> |ワ<br /> |WA<br /> |-<br /> |イ<br /> |I<br /> |キ<br /> |KI<br /> |シ<br /> |SHI<br /> |チ<br /> |CHI<br /> |二<br /> |NI<br /> |ヒ<br /> |HI<br /> |ミ<br /> |MI<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |リ<br /> |RI<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |ウ<br /> |U<br /> |ク<br /> |KU<br /> |ス<br /> |SU<br /> |ツ<br /> |TSU<br /> |ヌ<br /> |NU<br /> |フ<br /> |FU<br /> |ム<br /> |MU<br /> |ユ<br /> |YU<br /> |ル<br /> |RU<br /> |ン<br /> |N<br /> |-<br /> |エ<br /> |E<br /> |ケ<br /> |KE<br /> |セ<br /> |SE<br /> |テ<br /> |TE<br /> |ネ<br /> |NE<br /> |へ<br /> |HE<br /> |メ<br /> |ME<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |レ<br /> |RE<br /> |<br /> |<br /> |-<br /> |オ<br /> |O<br /> |コ<br /> |KO<br /> |ソ<br /> |SO<br /> |ト<br /> |TO<br /> |ノ<br /> |NO<br /> |ホ<br /> |goo<br /> |モ<br /> |MO<br /> |ヨ<br /> |YO<br /> |ロ<br /> |RO<br /> |ヲ<br /> |WO<br /> |}<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |ガ<br /> |GA<br /> |ザ<br /> |ZA<br /> |ダ<br /> |DA<br /> |バ<br /> |BA<br /> |<br /> |パ<br /> |PA<br /> |-<br /> |ギ<br /> |GI<br /> |ジ<br /> |JI<br /> |ヂ<br /> |DI<br /> |ビ<br /> |BI<br /> |<br /> |ピ<br /> |PI<br /> |-<br /> |グ<br /> |GU<br /> |ズ<br /> |ZU<br /> |ヅ<br /> |DU<br /> |ブ<br /> |BU<br /> |<br /> |プ<br /> |PU<br /> |-<br /> |ゲ<br /> |GE<br /> |ゼ<br /> |ZE<br /> |デ<br /> |DE<br /> |ベ<br /> |BE<br /> |<br /> |ペ<br /> |PE<br /> |-<br /> |ゴ<br /> |GO<br /> |ゾ<br /> |ZO<br /> |ド<br /> |DO<br /> |ボ<br /> |BO<br /> |<br /> |ポ<br /> |PO<br /> |}<br /> <br /> There is a small difficulty in katakana symbols table due to the very similar looking of some characters ː ノ、ソ、ン、シ、ツ...＋ゾ、ジ、ヅ。<br /> <br /> The pronunciation of ジ and ヂ, ズ and ヅ are the same.<br /> <br /> == Kanji ==<br /> <br /> Sometimes, kanji are used to make the sound only, without any consideration for the meaning.<br /> <br /> One first example ː 可愛い KAWAII which means cute. <br /> <br /> 可 (KA) means possible, so nothing relative to cute.<br /> <br /> 愛 (AI)<br /> <br /> い ( I̟s ̟) unsoud for I I &quot; letter<br /> <br /> .<br /> <br /> So we have KA AI I .
