Phrasebook

Some features of the Japanese language:

Japanese is one of the most difficult languages in the world. It is based on Chinese characters called kanji. To learn how to read and write in Japanese, in addition to hieroglyphs, you need to know two syllabary alphabets - hiragana and katakana: the first contains records of native Japanese things and concepts, and the second contains borrowed words.

Among the general language features, the following facts can be distinguished:
1. There is no “L” sound in Japanese. For example, instead of the name "Aleksey", the Japanese will say "Areksey".
2. The present, past and future tenses have not only the usual verbs, but also adjectives. For example, akai - red, akakatta - was red.
3. The Japanese consider the unit of the word not a letter, but a syllable. They perceive the entire text only by syllables. For example, if you ask a Japanese to pronounce the word “watakushi” (I) in reverse, he will say “si-ku-ta-wa”, and not “isukatav”, as we would do.
4. There are no categories of person, number and gender in Japanese. It is possible to determine whether we are talking about a cat or a cat, about many or about one, only by context.
5. The vowels "U" and "I", located between the deaf consonants, are not pronounced. For example, the word Empitsu (pencil) is pronounced Empts.
6. The sound "C" in the syllable "SI" is pronounced slightly hissing, like a soft "SCHI". Hence the discrepancy in the transcription of Japanese words containing this syllable (sushi - sushi, etc.).
7. Unlike many other languages in East and Southeast Asia, Japanese is not a tonal language. Good news: phonetics (pronunciation of words) in Japanese is quite close to Russian.

Transcription of Japanese words - furigana, romaji and pitch

Japanese phonetics may seem easy for beginners to learn Japanese language. There are only 5 vowels in Japanese, Japanese consonants do not differ much from Russian ones. However, there is something about the Japanese language that causes difficulty for almost all students. This is... pitch accent! What it is?

Pitch stress means that vowels in Japanese words are pronounced with different pitches(high and low tone). To better understand this phenomenon, let's compare Japanese with Russian. In Russian, stress is forceful - stressed vowels are pronounced louder unstressed. In some cases, the position of the stress changes the meaning of the word. Compare:

There was a beautiful castle on the hill.
He put a big padlock on the door.

If a foreigner who is starting to learn Russian utters one of these phrases, putting the stress in the wrong place, the interlocutor will, of course, understand him, but will chuckle. The same phenomenon exists in Japanese, where pitch accent helps to distinguish words, which look the same when written canoe(Japanese alphabet). If a person speaks Japanese with the correct pitch accent in words, then his speech sounds natural and is much easier to understand.

Now I would like to talk about the different types phonetic transcription in Japanese. There are several ways to record how Japanese words are pronounced, namely:

romaji- writing Japanese words in Latin letters,
furigana is a small kana printed next to kanji (Japanese characters),
international phonetic alphabet (IPA),
Polivanov system- writing Japanese words in Cyrillic.

Here, for example, is the phonetic transcription of the Japanese word 発音 (pronunciation):

hatsuon (romaji),
発音 (はつおん) (furigana next to kanji),
(international phonetic alphabet),
Hatsuon (Polivanov system).

Let's now return to the question of why pitch is so difficult to learn. I believe that the main problem is not that pitch is difficult to reproduce for Japanese beginners. The problem is that pitch stress is very often not marked in any way in Japanese dictionaries and textbooks. And as a result, most students (and sometimes even their teachers) consider this aspect of the Japanese language unimportant. When you start learning Japanese, you are warned in the first chapter of the textbook that Japanese has pitch accents, so if you want your speech to sound right, listen to the audio recordings and repeat. And most of the time, that's where the discussion ends! In my opinion, this is a very superficial approach!

Unlike some other pitch-accent languages (such as Chinese), it is rare in Japanese that the position of the accent in a word completely changes its meaning. If a person, speaking Japanese, puts the stress in the wrong place, he is understood (often with great difficulty). The average student concludes: "If I am understood, then why learn these accents?" But not everything is so simple. Compare the following three phrases (colors indicate high and low tones):

端を見る ha shi o mi ↧ ru – to see the end,
箸を見る ha ↧ shi o mi ↧ ru – to see Food sticks,
橋を見る ha shi ↧ o mi ↧ ru – to see bridge.

As you can see, the position of the stress completely changes the meaning of the phrase. If you want to sound natural when you speak Japanese, sooner or later you will have to learn pitch! Why put it off on the back burner?

I hope this online translator of Japanese text (hieroglyphs + kana) to transcription help change the situation. He highlights syllables in different colors, which are pronounced in a low or high tone.

A special option emphasizes the reduced vowels /i/ and /u/. In these cases, the reduced syllable will be replaced by a circled katakana. For example: 惑星わ㋗せい. Given that the ピ and プ characters in the circle do not exist, they will be replaced by ㋪° and ㋫°, respectively.

An additional option highlights the nasalization of the consonant [ɡ]. In these cases, the normal dakuten badge (for voicing) will be replaced with a handakuten badge. For example: 資源し ↧ け°ん .

To create a translator, I used a morphological analyzer for the Japanese language MeCab, NAIST Japanese Dictionary and a CSS file to support furigana. I took information about pitch stress in Japanese words from the following dictionaries:

Modern Japanese-Russian Dictionary, B.P. Lavrentiev.
