@japanese_kureha: (゛)and (゜)🇯🇵 dakuten (゛) is added to certain hiragana (and katakana) to change the sound of the consonant. For example: ✅か (ka) → が (ga) ✅さ (sa) → ざ (za) ✅た (ta) → だ (da) ✅は (ha) → ば (ba) There is also a handakuten (゜), which is a small circle used only with the “h” row to make a “p” sound: ✅は (ha) → ぱ (pa) 💡These marks are important for pronunciation and meaning in Japanese. ———————————— Hi!
