I was writing a haiku and I was wondering if "Keikaku" counts as 4 or 5 syllables. Tell me, /jp/

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 8 00:43:57 2008 No.1574979 I think what OP is asking is, is "do diphthongs count as one syllable or two in Japanese"?

Haiku aren't even based on the number of syllables. Not traditionally, in Japanese, anyway. Wikipedia said so. The 5-7-5 thing is the number of morae. Which is sort of like a syllable, but not quite the same.

But OP is probably writing something combining both Japanese and English, so there's no point sticking to the other parts of the traditional definition so strictly.

It has however many syllables as you choose to pronounce it as.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 8 00:46:15 2008 No.1574992 I think it is acceptable to end your haiku with "けいかくどうり。", regardless of whether the haiku is "proper".

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 8 00:48:07 2008 No.1574999 >>1574979 Two.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 8 00:50:56 2008 No.1575017 >>1574965 Syllable is a Japanese word that means go back to school, dude.
