Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧 あめ (ame) can mean Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧

あめ (ame) can mean…

☔️ 雨(あめ) = rain
🍬 飴(あめ) = candy

They’re written exactly the same in hiragana, but the pitch accent is different 🇯🇵✨

Can you guess which one Kumi and Fuyuka are saying?

Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧 はし (hashi) can me Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧

はし (hashi) can mean two different things:

🥢 箸(はし) = chopsticks
🌉 橋(はし) = bridge

They’re written exactly the same in hiragana, but the pitch accent changes the meaning!

So… what do you think the first はし means? 😆
🥢 Chopsticks or 🌉 bridge?

Comment your guess before watching the answer! 👇
