Pagbigkas

Ang karakter na あ ay kumakatawan sa tunog patinig na 'a', binibigkas tulad ng 'a' sa salitang 'aso' o sa 'a' ng Spanish. Isa ito sa limang pangunahing patinig ng Hapon at isa sa pinakamadalas na tunog sa wika. Ang tunog ay maikli at malinaw — hindi pinahahaba maliban kung tahasang inuulit (ああ).

Gabay sa Bawat Guhit

Ang あ ay isinusulat sa tatlong guhit. Guhit 1: isang maikli, bahagyang nakahilig na pahalang na linya malapit sa itaas, isinusulat mula kaliwa pakanan. Guhit 2: isang mahabang patayong linya na tumatawid sa unang guhit at bahagyang yumuyukyok pakaliwa pababa habang bumababa. Guhit 3: isang malayang kurba na nagsisimula sa itaas-kanan ng guhit 1, lumiligid pababa at sa paligid ng ibabang bahagi ng karakter, at nagtatapos sa isang maliit na kawit papasok sa kaliwang ibaba. Ang ikatlong guhit na ito ang nagbibigay sa あ ng kakaibang hugis — madalas pinaiikli o pinaplano ng mga baguhan ang kurbang ito.
