I have never heard anyone go into this amount of depth on this subject. Vowel devoicing is so important and I am so happy you have made this video. Thank you so much
This is one of the best Japanese phonology courses I have seen on RUclips. And it's from a native speaker!! I'm a fluent Japanese learner and passed N1 years ago, but I still learned a lot from your content. Thank you!!!
Your expertise and explanations are amazing! You've also covered some topics which I literally haven't been able to find other videos for at all. Thank you so much!
Wow that's some great depth. Though having learnt Hindi and it's "Sandhi" helps me get that which vowel will be devoiced or not almost like 90% of times , though it was definitely helpful :)
Thank you for the great educational videos. Trying to pronounce the words correctly is pretty difficult, especially when trying to follow pitch and dropping vowels, but that can be solved with practice. Without your videos, I would not have even known to look for it.
Earlier this afternoon, I was wondering if there would be any new videos coming soon… and here one is 😈 Clearly explained with illustrative examples, as always 👌
brother, I seem to hear the /ɯ/ inですね frequently devoiced and I’m not sure why, since it precedes an nasal. are there some vowels devoiced even before or after voiced consonants ?
You make the first half of the syllable slowly and stop at the point where your throat vibrates No need to really overcomplicate it though, just make a "Shhhhh". "chhh" "ssss" sound, etc Think of a librarian, someone being upset, or a snake respectively for those and shorten it
Thank you for this in depth explanation. I only try to mimick Japanese people whenever they speak, i don't know either the "correct" rules. I have a question, so basically if i have words hypothetically くつ and きつ, both have high pitch at second mora, thus both are just potentially pronounced the same? [ktsɯ]?
I would pronounce kutsushita the exactly same way in my own language... idk why but I would pronounce utsukushiku as u ts ku sh ku... the wiktionary is not that good for pronounce, for my language it almost all the time show wrong pronunciations... honestly, if I could I would like to devoice all of them lol

I’m a fan of phonetics and I loved to finally learn why some vowels are devoiced in Japanese. It helped me a lot.

What about u in ビジネス ?
U r the best. This video helps me alots.
Although i have to watch it lots of time to practice, shame.
Hi! Is there any video where you explain how to produce the devoiced u and I sound?
You make the first half of the syllable slowly and stop at the point where your throat vibrates
No need to really overcomplicate it though, just make a "Shhhhh". "chhh" "ssss" sound, etc
Think of a librarian, someone being upset, or a snake respectively for those and shorten it

南無 how about this word? Namu or nam(u) ?
“u” is not devoiced because the “m” is a voiced consonant.
Not devoiced
I would pronounce kutsushita the exactly same way in my own language... idk why
but I would pronounce utsukushiku as u ts ku sh ku...
the wiktionary is not that good for pronounce, for my language it almost all the time show wrong pronunciations...
honestly, if I could I would like to devoice all of them lol
