I've never known why it's pronounced like this. Best explanation ever. Thank you, Sayaka-sensei! I love when you get into the linguistics.

I think this is something that people pick up naturally as you immerse yourself more in the language…it’s like a natural adaptation of the language for people to speak quickly.

Me learning Japanese knowing I’ll never get it:

“Shi- sh sh… Shi t.”

[Bokkiek]

Thanks youtube algorithm, for pushing me down the rabbit hole of endless shorts about learning Japanese

[claranadine]

A few of my classmates in Japanese class pronounce every "です" like "deh-sue" and it's driving me absolutely insane. Idk why the teacher hasn't corrected them 😂😭

[NPC_Algernon]

Thanks, I always had trouble pronouncing 失礼します so this was really helpful!

[coolbrotherf]

Understanding that the difference is stressed and unstressed consonants is really helpful. I knew that some vowels were silent but I didn't know why and just memorized the words that have silent vowels. This makes learning new words much easier.

[Digitalfiendscom]

Great explanation but now we need a Sayaka beat-boxing video using the voiceless consonants… 😂

[Jonas-ejid]

Me being able to pronounce Shitsureishimasu flawlessly on the first try means I've watched way too much animu

[jrq]

It's like the "silent" letters/syllables in certain words in English! Like, "knife", "cough", "though", etc.

[BENJIxScarlett]

Thank you!!!! I had to replay this like 5 times 🎉

Japanese: remove one letter from pronunciation.
English:

[JHandle]

From my perspective, it seems o can be voiceless or almost voiceless sometimes.

And it is interesting that Japanese people can hear the differences between voiceless vowels like shi and shu or chi and chu.

し　しゅ　ち　ちゆ

Those ones.

I thought it was gonna be like:
Bob-cut: Hey Sayaka, Can you read this?
Sayaka: Suki-desu
Bob-cut: I like you, too.

[maxien]

Having such a clear understanding of language must be nice

[AlistairClark]

Great explanation and examples. Very helpful. Thanks!

[kimhong]

I still remember on my first Japanese lesson and came across this しつれいします had to repeat it all day lol

[manshell]

Para los hablantes nativos del español, pronunciar el japonés es súper sencillo.

[soulofaiden]

Oooohh. So I wasn't imagining when I heard Naruto screaming: SASKE

[Pluveus]

As someone who took french in Highschool, this makes total sense to me, French does the same thing all the time, especially with the ends of words.
