    tsu vs small tsu. What’s the size difference? I’m looking at this hiragana practice sheet and am trying to figure out if the tsu is regular or small. It’s not too obvious if it is. This is the phrase on the worksheet: いっしょ

    Small or regular? And if it’s small, it would read in romaji i shi shi yo? Or i sh shi yo?

    I thought I knew the meaning of small tsu. But put to practice, I guess I don’t. D: Very grateful for any help.

    Edit: I put the phrase on there using copy/paste. I don’t know if that changes the size along with the font(sorry, not a tech person D’:)

    The small tsu creates a double consonant. So いっしょ is “issho”.
