What I wanted to know is how or where do you start write your own alphabet? From left to right or from right to left or from up to the button of paper? Thank you and hopefully you can help for its part of my research.
they write it up to down starting from the right and moving to the left. first the vowels, in order a i u e o, and then repeating this pattern for every consonant k s t n h m y r w and then finally singular n
Yours videos are very helpful for self study people like my self.Thank you. Please may be katakana writing video next time? And also is it "hu" or "fu" or somewhere between them?I saw "hu" but my textbook said "fu"?
I have a question about も's stroke order. I have seen many books and images where the first stroke is said to be the same as in the し form and many others where the first and second stroke are said to be the horizontal ones. Can you tell me why there is such a difference?
The way it's shown in this video is the "right" way, with the vertical line first. You probably know that in Japanese writing you usually write horizontal lines first, but sometimes (like with も), you don't. Apparently this is a common mistake (and it was probably just a mistake in the books you mentioned). I looked on Google and couldn't find an authoritative explanation for why it's like this - I guess no one actually knows? But people seem to think it's either a quirk because of the way the character was developed from the original kanji or to make it faster to write.
"fu" is how it's normally written with Roman letters, but it's actually "hu". If you put your lips in the position to say "ooh" and then try to say the English word "who", you'll notice the "h" automatically comes out sounding more like "f" (actually, it's not "f", it's really the sound you make when you blow out a candle). The different sound is just a natural thing that happens. Btw, that's the same reason "ti" and "tu" are usually romanized as "chi" and "tsu".
