The Small tsu () and Long Vowel Sounds In katakana a long vowel sond is represented with a dash ( ). When we write katakana words in romaji we also use a dash, either beside or on top of the letter we want to extend. The small tsu ( ) is also used to represent the double constants. When we say the word aloud, the small tsu ( ) gives a small jump in the word. When written in romajii , the small tsu ( ) doubles the first letter of the next character.

ombined Sounds
As katakana is used to create Japanese words from English words, more ombined sounds are needed to be able to repr sent all of the sounds in the English langua e. Not every sound is able to be created (f r example the “TH” sound), but these sounds are useful to be able to say tricker English sounds in Japanese. These sounds are made by a ding a small vowel to the original symbol.
