γγ¨γ or γγγγγ? When to use which? Can someone please clarify? Thanks in advance.
Reading: γγγγγ - I wouldn't read it as γγ¨γ unless there were furigana telling me to read it that way
Writing: Use ε°ε₯³ for γγγγγ and δΉε₯³ for γγ¨γ to avoid ambiguity
Listening: The same definitions on DenshiJisho but Yahoo gives 'girl' for γγγγγ, and 'maiden' or 'virgin' for 'γγ¨γ' which matches about how often I think they're used in modern Japanese.
Speaking: If you want to say girl, say γγγγγ (or onna no ko). γγ¨γ as maiden/virgin is a bit old-fashioned (as far as I know) and would probably only appear, if at all, in compounds.
I see. Thank you for your explaination
