Pronunciation

らりるれ ろ

ra ri ru re ro

[Hobbesuki]

I'm just wondering but the "ri" you have shown in this video....is not り but instead is rounded... why is that?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Where?

[JessicaHalo]

The ultimate insight I have heard about the r/l debate... "If you're not saying it half way between an r and an l, you're not saying it right!"

[Gimmeaflakeman]

No. You must forget about R and L. They do not exist in Japanese. Just do it.

i rike this video

[omnistegan]

It really is an L vs. R death-match sometimes. Kinda like the が vs. は battles I sometimes see raging on Japanese learning forums. Of course someone always steps in and has a one sentence solution, saying it's just like "a" and "the" or something. Turns out everybody is wrong. STOP TRYING TO QUANTIFY JAPANESE IN ENGLISH. Honestly, it doesn't work. The reason it's Japanese and not English is because it's different, not because it's the same with different words.

It is almost like an L but with the tongue touching further back in the mouth, so it is on that ridge thing which I forgot the name of >_>

[xNikkaX3]

The R is like, a mix or R, L and D... Lol.

[AnemicChia]

Arigato gozaimasu!

[juggy2006]

The sounding is like an R without the teeth touching the bottom lip and then a curling of the tongue for the L-ish sound. There may be no R or L in japanese but an english way of pronouncing it, that is how it sounds.

[ShionElpihasLevi]

thanks :D I was so confussed before haha

[JeremyB796]

the r is so close to the L sound...

its tricky >.<

[momothelemur]

@Hobbesuki It's a different font... that's it.

[greenlawnmover]

@Hobbesuki it's an typo isn´t it? That comes from how the "ri" is drawn, when written quickly the two lines blend together and this has become a "standars" with time i think, if that is what you wondered about?
