Hospital is "Byou-in" and hair salon is "Biyou-in"

I know it is the slightest difference, but with practice you will get it!

Cheers

So how do you pronounce hospital and hair salon?

thanks for the lesson

Hi,

As you know,  " に (Ni) ＋ ゃ(ya) ＝ にゃ(Nya)"  [ ≠  にや (Niya)] 

 

 

theyre saying nya wrong

 

 

ya gotta go "NYA~~~!"

 

ya know, nya~?

 

This is getting complicated :/ 

@Rach It is not really shortened sounds it's purpose is to change the way you pronounce hiragana that end with the い sound but to answer your question yes it is literally a smaller やゆよ just like the smaller つ in the sokuon lesson.

@Aya ぴゃ　vs　ぴや as you would notice pya has a smaller や while piya has a bigger one (although I'm not sure piya is an actual word)

Sooo.... I need some clarification on this one. Are these LITERALLY a written/typed smaller version of Ya, Yu, and Yo? And it's only these smaller versions added to the consonants to create the shortened sounds? Thanks in advance!

:( I didn't understand the different between pya ana piya !!!

Lol
