Hello! My name is Me. Welcome to Me’s free Japanese lesson.
Here, I’m going to talk about the [wa-row] 「わ行」 and [n] 「ん」 of Japanese language.
The [wa-row]「わ行」has 2 sounds,「わ」and「を」.
[n]「ん」is pronounced only consonant.
「わ」 is pronounced [wa]. It is a combination of the consonant [w] and the vowel [あ/a].
[わ/wa] is used for:
- わたし/私/wa・ta・shi =I/my/me/mine/myself
- わかい/若い/wa・ka・i =young
- わた/綿/wa・ta =cotton
- わに/鰐/wa・ni =alligator/crocodile
- わたす/渡す/wa・ta・su =give something to someone
and more.
「を」 is written [wo] in the alphabet but pronounced [o], as the same pronunciation of the vowel, 「お」 .
[を/wo] is used as a direct object particle of a verb in modern Japanese, for example:
- えをかく/絵を描く/e・wo・ka・ku =I draw a picture.
- みずをのむ/水を飲む/mi・zu・wo・no・mu =I drink water.
and more.
[ん/n] is pronounced [n] or [m] and used in the end/the middle of words. This sound is pronounced an only consonant.
[ん/n] is used for:
- しんぶん(し)/新聞(紙)/shi・m・bu・m(・shi) =news paper
- かん/缶/ka・n =can
- きん/金/ki・n =gold
- かんたん/簡単/ka・n・ta・n =easy/simple
- うん/運/u・n =luck/fortune
and more.
