TEN TENS/ CHON CHONS AND MARU STEP 1 : Please LOOK at the chart:
Quick Explanation: Ten Tens or Chon Chons are little markers that change the sound of an existing Hiragana. You may have seen the word ひらがな (hiragana) The ten tens change the KA to a GA in hiraGAna.
We have a quick way of remembering which lines can be changed:
K-G The K family line changes to G with TEN TENS so we call it KILLER GORILLA
S-Z S line changes to Z= SMELLY ZOO
T-D T line changes to D= TOP DOG
H-B H line changes to B= HAPPY BIRTHDAY
H-P H line changes to P when used with a circle (maru) HOT PIE or HARRY POTTER
