ク (ku) – Katakana

Pronunciation

– Pronounced as the Japanese ‘ku’. Sounds like a koo-koo bird ‘kooing’, going ‘ku… ku… ku’.

About

く, in hiragana, or ク in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Their shapes come from the kanji 久. When small and preceded by an -i kana, this kana represents not a separate sound but a modification of that of another.
