## Common questions

### How do I type ん?

Type n. Before a vowel or y, type nn so it isn't read as na, ni or nya: konnya -> こんや.

### How do I type the small っ?

Double the next consonant: kitte -> きって, zasshi -> ざっし.

### Why does konnichiwa give こんにちわ?

Converters spell by sound. The greeting is written with the particle は, so type konnichiha to get こんにちは.
