I got a question for those here that understand/speak Japanese:

 

[Matze149]

Which one is correct:

 

[Matze149]

"wo" or "o"?

 

[Matze149]

I've seen the "wo" one often in songs and stuff

 

[Matze149]

but the Japanese book I picked up says it as "o"

 

[Matze149]

which one is right now?

 

[Matze149]

Especially when speaking, how do I say it?

 

[Futamaru]

It depends on which transliteration system you are using.

 

[Futamaru]

I don't really know how to describe on how to read it, but when I read it, it will be something between "o" and "wo". The "o" sound will not so sharp, but the "w" sound is sort of, not silent, but padded.

 

[megumi]

Yeah what futa said

 

[Futamaru]

But personally, I don't follow a specific set of transliteration system.

I prefer the system where each kana is assigned to one unique romaji. I.e. I will retain "wo". But there are exceptions.

I use "wa" instead of "ha". And also for certain words like Tokyo, I use the more commonly recognized "Tokyo" instead of "Toukyou".

I just use whichever easier to read and decipher.

wa when used as an article.

ha when used within a word for me.
