Good afternoon, everyone! Konnichi wa, minasan! Today we work on row 8 of the hiragana digraph chart:
Before we begin, remember that the next three rows are hiragana characters that have the dakuten (or Ten Ten). If you'd like to reveiw the lessons on the dakuten and handakuten (or maru) here are my posts on the Ka set with dakuten, Sa and Ta sets with dakuten, and the Ha set with the dakuten and handakuten.
Now, let’s take a look at gya, gyu and gyo:
ぎゃ Gya is pronounced g’yah. Swallow the ee sound of ghee and add the yah sound. ぎゅ Gyu is pronounced g’you. Again swallow that ee sound of ghee, add the yoo sound. ぎょ Gyo is pronounced g’yoh. Swallow the ee in ghee and blend with yoh.
Again, the long ‘o’ sound (like the sound in oat and own) is represented by the ō symbol. It can also be represented by the letters 'ou'. The long ‘u’ sound (like in you and yule) is represented by the ū symbol, or the letters 'uu'.
Here are some words with the row 8 sounds: ぎゃく Gyaku = the opposite, the reverse (g’yah koo) ぎゅうにゅう Gyūnyū = cow’s milk (gyoo nyoo) ぎょうぎ Gyōgi = manners, behavior (gyō ghee) ぎょうざ Gyoza = Japanese dumplings If you’d like to listen to the pronunciation of this digraph set, and the others, please re-watch the Japanesepod101.com video covering the ya, yu and yo digraphs. Here’s a link to gya, gyu and gyo. Just rewind to hear all the digraphs again. Okay, without further ado, here's this week's practice writing sheet featuring gya, gyu and gyo. Ganbatte Kudasai (頑張ってください)! Please, do your best!
