I am still learning myself so forgive me of any horrible explanations.
The way that the Japanese language is setup, each symbol represents a consonant and a vowel, to form a full syllable. For example, thank you is a-ri-ga-to-u ありがとう Japanese enunciation requires a consonant and a vowel to be paired together. I still don't understand the full logic behind it, but basically, with a word that ends in a consonant, the Japanese cannot leave it as is. It is natural for them to end almost every single word in a vowel by just throwing one on at the end. Again, sorry if this explanation isn't up to par. A few more visits and I should be more suited to answer your question ![]() -Hunter |
