Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.


To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

An Cat Dubh 
Emne: Question

I stumbled across a Basho haiku. It goes like this:


古池や 蛙飛び込む 水の音 (transliteration: furuike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto; translation: an old pond / a frog jumps / sound of water)


My question is, what does "ya" mean?
