Ten-tens

Now that you know your basic Hiragana and Katakana, you should now learn the Ten-ten for the characters. Ten-ten are added to characters to make a new one, for example, か(Ka) becomes が(Ga). Here's a list of what lines take Ten-ten and what they turn into :

Ks turn into Gs with Ten-ten

か-が    カ-ガ

Ss turn into Zs with Ten-ten

さ-ざ     サ-ザ

An exception to this is し/シ(Shi). Adding Ten-ten makes this じ/ジ(Ji)

Ts turn into Ds

た-だ     タ-ダ

*THE H LINE*

The H line is very special. It takes Ten-tens but it also takes a different symbol, a little dot at the top of the character. This is called a Handakuten. The Hs are the only characters that take this.

Hs turn to Bs 

は-ば    ハ-バ

Hs turn to Ps

は-ぱ ハ-パ
