hatsuon

Basic Japanese pronunciation.

Tip #102 These tips are my lazy explanation for lack of technical terminology. I am a born American and English is my native language. I didn’t start on my path towards Japanese language mastery, until I was 19 years old. I was taught at the University during a linguistics class that after the age of 12 the part of the brain that handles the understanding of languages hardens and solidifies to the point that pronunciation and the understanding of words

Understand how the English letters L and R are and D are pronounced in English then experiment with variations and cross-mixes by combining the letters as you do red, blue, and green in fine tuning the color or warmth of a television set. RA - ら,RI - り, RU - る, RE - れ, and RO - ろ are pronounced by lightly flicking your tongue on the roof of your mouth at the hard palette area. The tongue it seems to me is softer and wider when flicking and flattening it at the top of your mouth. D is stiff, but ra,ri,ru,re,ro is more flexibly soft when struck against the rooftop of your mouth.
Do you remember making a taco out of your tongue when you were a kid? Well you can make a taco but it is a smaller taco, towards the tip of the tongue and then flapped . Ra is jaw dropping wide from nose to chin. Re is made cheeks wide smile, ru is rounded lips in a circle, ro is both the dropped ja of ra + ooh lala.

Here is more insight I give to serious Japanese wanna speak it correctly soon in my non- technical jargonated language sort of explanation. I hope you can bear this, because I’m sure any linguist out there would kill me for shame and spite, thank you in advance. after making a canyon in your mouth or by pushing the tongue forward to the upper harder palette at the roof of your mouth. Pretend as if your mouth was a hot potato and your tongue being separate when saying the ra ri ru re ro line in the syllabary and that your tongue must come quickly off the roof of your mouth because it is hot. Also the r’s in Japanese of which there are but 5 (each corresponding to the vowel sounds, in conjunction with) You can simulate actual native pronunciation by pronouncing your ra ri ru re ro line to yourself. The r’s are often mis-heard as d’s in English. I was saying some words to a junior Japanese language learning apprentice the practicing.

But before you even attempt the ra ri ru re ro line of the syllabary, master the first five syllables which constitute the Japanese vowels. Ah ee ooh eh and oh or short hand a i u e and o.The first 5 syllables are actually the 5 vowels of the Japanese language. If we first master the first 5 first vowels correctly, then pronunciation for all the rest of the syllables shall fall into place in due time. The following is a link to the International Phonetic Alphabet or the IPA http://www.unc.edu/underling/images/ipachart.gif/

a - あ ah as when the dentist says, “say ah.”

i - い ee as in leech or me.

u -う not exactly ooh but for beginning pronunciation masters
stick with the
pronouncing u like ooh as in “ooh lala,” or Winnie the pooh.

e - え eh as in bedhead .( edges of mouth as when smiling corners
of mouth stretched
outward.)

and ,
o お oh as in boat or note (long long closed mid back )

also it is interesting to note that as we have in English the e at the end of the word note that if it weren’t there would simply be not however with the addition of the e at the end it somehow takes the o which was pronounced as ah and pulled on it through the letter t to make it the long oh pronunciation.

*It is interesting to note that in Japanese the plosive bilabials pa and ba come from the aspirated ha in written kana in this order: ha pa then ba or ha then ha with the degree symbol then ha with the ten ten marks or a single quotation mark. The order in the dictionary follows that pattern in its other dignified grouping of ta going to da and also ka going to ga in the velar.

プラグアンドプレイ日本文法 日本のレッスン#89

動詞(基盤I) + ZU NI IRARENAI (動詞+ずにいられない)
(私は動詞訳にはいく)

今日の日本文法レッスンは音節、A (あ) (ひどいのように顕著なaw、または驚くばかりの基盤Iの常に入る基礎I.動詞の動詞を端に利用する)。 私達は動詞の否定的な州か条件にリンクとして基盤Iの動詞について考えることができる。 基盤Iの動詞は通常単語NAI (ない)に- Naiである英国の単語と対等ない先行している。 例えば、英語で、私達は私達が何かをする、または、何かをしないとまたは私達が何かをしてもいいかまたは私達は言う何かをすることができないことを私達がと言う。

-基盤IIIの動詞として…肯定、私が陰性の方にがちである基盤の動詞の方にであって下さい- できるに、または、動詞は基盤のDEKIRU (できる) III肯定は、基盤IのDEKIRU + naiのDEKINAIのない肯定的肯定的、陰性でありが肯定的であるではない。 基盤Iの形態は肯定的ではない、肯定的ではない条件に単語を置くための連結のようである。

DEKINAI (できない)はできないようにある
DEKIRU (できる)は缶にある。

SHINAI (しない)はしないようにある
SURU (する)はにするある。

基盤に動詞を入れるためには、Ichidanの一段動詞(母音によって止められる動詞)およびYo^danのようだんまたはGodan動詞(子音によって止められる動詞)の違いを理解することは必要である。 私はそこに3つのタイプの動詞あるが、これらのタイプが3つのタイプの英国動詞に無関係であること教えられた。 英語では、3つのタイプの動詞はある連辞の受動態、活発活発および形態である。 日本語ではkamiのichidan katsuyo動詞、godan katsuyo動詞および不規則動詞を有する。

例:

1。 KANASHIKATTAノードNAKAZU NI IRARENAI - 悲しかったので泣かずにいられない私はあった従って悲しい、私は助け叫ぶことができなかった。
NAKU (泣く) -叫ぶv. 基盤I - NAKA (泣か) NAKA + ZU + NI IRARENAIの泣かずにいられない

2。 GAMAN DEKINAKUNATTAノードKAERAZU NI IRARENAI - 我慢できなくなったので帰らずにいられない事は得た従って悪い状態、私はそれをもう取ることができなかった。 私は助け家に戻ることができなかった。 KAERU (帰る) -家に戻るv.戻るため 基盤Iでは、KAERA (帰ら) KAERA + ZU NI IRARENAIの帰らずにいられない

3。 TAIHEN BYO^KI NI NATTAノード、HAKIDASAZU NI IRARENAI - 大変病気になったので吐き出さずにいられない 私は得た従って私が助けることができなかったが、投げる病人。 HAKIDASU (吐き出す) -、吐物投げるべき、v.は吐く 基盤Iでは、HAKIDASA (吐き出さ) HAKIDASA+ ZU NI IRARENAI 吐き出さずにいられない

4。 KIITE ITA ONGAKU WA SUGOKU OMOSHIROKATTAノード、ODORAZU NI IRARENAI - 聞いていた音楽は凄く面白かったので躍らずにいられない 音楽は私達聞いていたをあっただった従ってよい、私は助け踊ることができなかった。 ODORU (躍る) - v。 踊るため 基盤Iでは、ODORA (躍ら) ODORA + ZU NI IRARENAIの躍らずにいられない

これらの例は極度文よりあなたが文法練習の構造を使用してほしい有用なあなたの日本語の技術に無限に寄与するタイプを構成できることを示すためにであり。 そこにそれがある! あなたが、あなたによって、よりよい日本語の方の更に別のステップを踏むことができる日本語の兵器類のあなたの工廠に加えるのに使用できる別のプラグアンドプレイ文法主義。 常にとして、 Ganbatte Ne! 頑張ってね! 全力を尽くしなさい!

Japanese Grammar Plug and Play
Japanese Lesson #89– Verb (Base I) + ZU NI IRARENAI (Verb + ず に いられない)
(I can’t help but verb)

Today’s Japanese grammar lesson makes use of verbs in Base I. Verbs put into base I always end with the syllable, A (あ) (Pronounced aw as in awful, or awesome). We could think of verbs in Base I as links to negative states or conditions in verbs. Verbs in Base I are usually followed by the word NAI ( ない)- Nai is comparable to the English word not. For example, in English, we say that we can do something or we can not do something, or we say that we will do something, or, will not do something.

- As verbs in Base III tend toward affirmative, verb in Base I tend toward the negative -

The verb to be able to, or, DEKIRU (できる) in base III is positive affirmative, while DEKINAI, which is DEKIRU in Base I + nai is not positive nor affirmative, but negative. Base I forms are like linkage for putting words in their not positive, not affirmative conditions.

DEKINAI (できない) is to CAN’T as
DEKIRU (できる) is to CAN.

SHINAI (しない) is to WON’T DO as
SURU (する) is to WILL DO.

In order to put verbs into bases, it’s necessary to understand the difference between Ichidan 一段verbs ( vowel stemmed verbs) and Yo^dan ようだん or Godan verbs (consonant stemmed verbs). I was taught that there exists three types of verbs but these types are unrelated to the three types of English verbs. In English, the three types of verbs are passive, active and forms of the copula- to be. In Japanese you have kami ichidan katsuyo verbs, godan katsuyo verbs and irregular verbs.


Examples:

1. KANASHIKATTA NODE NAKAZU NI IRARENAI -
悲しかったので泣かずにいられない
I was so sad, I couldn’t help but cry.

NAKU ( 泣く)– v. to cry
in Base I – NAKA ( 泣か)
NAKA + ZU + NI IRARENAI 泣かずにいられない

2. GAMAN DEKINAKUNATTA NODE KAERAZU NI IRARENAI –
我慢できなくなったので帰らずにいられない
Things got so bad, I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t help but go back home.

KAERU ( 帰る)– v. to return home, to go back
in Base I, KAERA ( 帰ら)
KAERA + ZU NI IRARENAI 帰らずにいられない

3. TAIHEN BYO^KI NI NATTA NODE, HAKIDASAZU NI IRARENAI –
大変病気になったので吐き出さずにいられない
I got so sick I couldn’t help but throw-up.

HAKIDASU (吐き出す) – v. to throw up, vomit, spit out
in Base I, HAKIDASA (吐き出さ)
HAKIDASA+ ZU NI IRARENAI 吐き出さずにいられない

4. KIITE ITA ONGAKU WA SUGOKU OMOSHIROKATTA NODE, ODORAZU NI IRARENAI –
聞いていた音楽は凄く面白かったので躍らずにいられない
The music was we were listening to was so good, I couldn’t help but dance.

ODORU ( 躍る)– v. To dance
in Base I, ODORA (躍ら)
ODORA + ZU NI IRARENAI 躍らずにいられない


These examples are extreme to show that you can make up any type of sentence you want using the grammar practice constructions and it will benefit your Japanese language skills immensely useful. There you have it! Another plug and play grammar principle you can use to add to your arsenal of Japanese language weaponry, which, depending on you, can take you yet another step towards better Japanese.

As Always,
Ganbatte Ne! 頑張ってね!
Do Your Best!
