How to type a small tsu before an n?!

Japanese Language
1

Hey I’ve wanted to translate something from a show I saw written in the subtitles as " あっねえ". I wanted to type it into jisho (and tried it in wanikani) but I dont know how to since you usually double the consonant but if you do that with an n it becomes ん. I feel like I missunderstood something and a small tsu before a n ist just not possible but I cant figure out what I did wrong then :confused: Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

x + letter you want (in this case it’s つ). This makes all the letters small.

So, あ + ｘ + つ + ねえ.

EDIT: I Leebo’d Leebo himself. He was typing, but no more. I can go back to bed, my day can’t get any more successful than this.

Actually, you don’t ever type a small っ before a な-line character - you just use ん instead.

I feel like あっねえ might be some kind of slang. It sure ain’t gonna appear in Jisho. Maybe it’s あのね.

you could also double a different consonant, and then just backspace so you only have the っ left over

I become aware of that watching anime with subtitles in romaji, I was like oh why are there so many X’s??

Congrats, you’ve taken your first step into becoming a full Leebo.

I’m afraid that content is strictly classified and can only be unlocked like you would do with certain hidden badges

You can find me commenting in his last video

And he personally gave me a heart there

I’m already two steps ahead of you

I personally like using l (lower case L) instead of x because it’s in the words “little” and “small”

ltu = っ

also I don’t usually type the s in tsu

it’s an exclamation.
あっ、ねえ
the あ is short and ends abruptly.

そーだよねっ

That also works.

Aye, I do that too, except that some IMEs (like WaniKani’s) renders “la” as ら instead of ぁ. And so on.

You’d also get it if you typed l + tsu
that’s l as in lowercase L

edit:
after posting I saw the post above me lol
