Letters: kya, kyu, kyo

  • き + ゃ → きゃ ki + ya → kya A small ゃ (ya), ゅ (yu) or ょ (yo)

    A small ゃ (ya), ゅ (yu) or ょ (yo) joins the letter before it into one sound: き (ki) and a small ゃ (ya) make きゃ (kya). It works the same after other letters that end in i: し (shi) makes しゃ (sha), ぎ (gi) makes ぎょ (gyo).
