きゃ (kya)
Pagbigkas
Ang tambalang karakter na きゃ ay kumakatawan sa pantig na 'kya', binuo sa pamamagitan ng pagsasama ng き (ki) at maliit na ゃ (ya). Binabago ng kombinasyon ang patinig ng き mula 'i' patungong tunog na 'ya', na nagbubunga ng isang pantig na 'kya' — hindi 'ki-ya'. Ang ganitong pattern (katinig+i + maliit na ya/yu/yo) ay tinatawag na yōon at lumilikha ng maraming mahahalagang tunog sa Hapon.
Gabay sa Bawat Guhit
