ano senpai want to ask about yōon modifiers little bit, i hope u know.
Hiragana-
sha-しゃ <ゃ> why it turn to sha instead sya
shu-しゅ <ゅ> why shu instead of syu
sho-しょ <ょ> why sho instead of syo
could it be this word have the same pronunciation with different meaning?
i did notice they have slightly different in size each of the character!
does it mean if i write shi then combine with small yo it would produce new sound at the end? so how do i pronounce this word sho is it shi+ho

can u help me understand a bit about yoon modifiers?

hi, need some help spelling in japanese~

for example if i want to spell konbanwa and then why the outcome will be like this こんばんは。
why instead of using we use in that last word?
and if i want to spell ohayoo why the outcome like this おはよう instead of using at the last part of word?

こんばんは uses は instead of わ, because the は here is a particle.

Direct translation for こんばん = tonight

Direct translation for こんばんは = tonight is, は = is, like referring to.

But こんばんは itself, means good evening/night.

は is a particle like in watashi は, kare は. (I am, he is)

The correct writing for Ohayo is Ohayou, which is おはよう. Some text books put it as ohayoo and some text books put it as ohayo with a stroke above the o.

Other examples include Kinou - some books put it as kino, or kinoo.

Or Kyou - some books put it as kyo or kyoo.

Don't know if this is sufficient for your understanding.

i dont think i understand..well mostly i notice when trying to prolong the sound oo they will use u instead of o at the back...and it very confusing when trying to write end words for sentence わ to は? how to determine when the correct place to use は or わ at the last part of words?

so basically if i want the last part of the words to produce わ sound just use は?
