[@cube_cup]

In English we also do those comic things elongation: "Whatcha dooooing?" Stop: "What the-"

[@LILProductions]

This needs more attention!

[@ninasze4903]

this is the most comprehensive video I have seen, thank you for this

[@XiaosChannel]

ayy thanks XD, feels proud to hear that -- I spent a few hours in a library amoung other things for this video, lol

[@XiaosChannel]

in hindsight, this video would probably have been better if it's divided into like 3 parts counters and connector small kanas in comics/light novels small kanas for foreign languages

2:40 Thank you, I've been trying to make it through the bakemonogatari light novel, and I could never figure out why her name was written the way it was.

[@XiaosChannel]

Glad to help! that's why I make videos like these...

[@TheRedOGRE]

Interesting videos. Ive just recently learned kata and am starting on kanji. Its interesting to hear about this stuff. The small tsu at the end of sentences was really confusing me lol. Thanks for clearing that up. 👌

[@Arviragus13]

The small ラリルレロ are used in Ainu because the final '-r' typically duplicates the previous vowel. Golden Kamuy watchers might notice Asirpa's name is pronounced as 'アシリパ / As(h)iripa', which is actually correct Ainu pronunciation, and explains why it's not Japanese-ified as 'asirupa'

[@vnXun]

Is that the same 「が」as in 「君が代」? So the whole phrase means something like 「皇帝の時代」?

[@XiaosChannel]

First question yes, second question idduno, it's archaic japanese

[@pieciunia1]

I don't have a small ko on a Japanese keyboard ヵヶｘｋお

[@XiaosChannel]

yeah i guess they just aren't seen as an official use, despite people use them. this is what you find when you delve deep into languages.

[@pieciunia1]

@@XiaosChannel It's not even in Unicode!

[@XiaosChannel]

@@pieciunia1 that i explained why in the extended readings

[@XiaosChannel]

basically there are too many of them and japan want there to be just a general solution for all kanas to be made small, rather than introducing individual characters
