"hiragana"Tanımı ve Anlamı

What is "hiragana"?

Hiragana is a syllabary used in the Japanese writing system to represent sounds, with each character corresponding to a specific syllable. Unlike kanji, which represent ideas or meanings, hiragana is used mainly for grammatical purposes, such as writing particles, verb endings, and native Japanese words that do not have associated kanji. It consists of 46 basic characters, each representing a combination of consonants and vowels, or just a vowel alone. Hiragana is essential for beginners learning Japanese and is a key part of everyday writing, especially for children's books, casual writing, and official documents.
