だ (da) Hiragana Worksheet

Example words

Fun facts

• だ is made by adding dakuten ゛ to た.
• Dakuten ゛ marks voicing: for example, it changes k-row, s-row, t-row, and h-row kana into g-, z-, d-, and b-row sounds.
• Older Japanese writing did not always mark voicing consistently, so dakuten became an important aid for reading voiced kana.
