Part 3: ヶ in "関ヶ原" & Other Small Kana [Japanese Kana They Don't Teach You at School] 

In English we also do those comic things elongation: "Whatcha dooooing?" Stop: "What the-"

This needs more attention!

this is the most comprehensive video I have seen, thank you for this

in hindsight, this video would probably have been better if it's divided into like 3 parts counters and connector small kanas in comics/light novels small kanas for foreign languages

The small ラリルレロ are used in Ainu because the final '-r' typically duplicates the previous vowel. Golden Kamuy watchers might notice Asirpa's name is pronounced as 'アシリパ / As(h)iripa', which is actually correct Ainu pronunciation, and explains why it's not Japanese-ified as 'asirupa'

Interesting videos. Ive just recently learned kata and am starting on kanji. Its interesting to hear about this stuff. The small tsu at the end of sentences was really confusing me lol. Thanks for clearing that up. 👌

2:40 Thank you, I've been trying to make it through the bakemonogatari light novel, and I could never figure out why her name was written the way it was.

Omg THANK YOU!!

Is that the same 「が」as in 「君が代」? So the whole phrase means something like 「皇帝の時代」?

I don't have a small ko on a Japanese keyboard ヵヶｘｋお
