The above table displays all the kana that are used in native Finnish words. (The vowel-less d, j, ng and v do not actually appear in Finnish, words but are displayed anyway for ease of reference.)

The word syllabic might be a misleading name, because these characters do not always represent a full syllable. For example the word kun (when) is monosyllabic, but is written くん; with two characters. The vowel-less consonant characters are often used for onset consonants (consonants at the end of a syllable). But they can also be used in consonant clusters in foreign words. For example stratosfääri (stratosphear) is written ()()ラト()ファェーリ゛ where the consonants s and t are represented by vowel-less consonants.

The vowel-less n is used instead of ()/() before the consonants b, m and p. Examples: ロンビ - rombi (rhomb), たんみ - tammi (oak), るんぷ - rumpu (drum).

Additional phonetic marks

Consonant lengthener
Vowel lengthener

The consonant lengthener (or sokuon) lengthens or geminates the following consonant. So for example ら゛こ reads out as rako (gap) while ら゛っこ is rakko (bladder). The sokuon is not used to lengthen m (see above paragraph) or n however. Instead ん/ン is used before a syllabic beginning with m or n. So kannu (jug) is written かんぬ.

The vowel lengthener (or chōonpu) lengthens the previous vowel. So example つ~り reads out as tuuli (wind).

Dz is used for /dz/, dž or j for /dʒ/ or /dʑ/, ts for /ts/, tš or ch for /tʃ/ or /tɕ/ and ž for /ʒ/. Other foreign sounds are transcribed with characters whose sounds are the closest to that sound, for example /β/ is transcribed with v, /ð/ with z, /ʂ/ with š, and so on. /ʔ/ is transcribed with the sokuon.

Design principles

The small e (ぇ or ェ) is used for deriving the front vowels y, ä, ö from the back vowels u, a, o. This mimics the fashion in some languages where ä might be replaced by ae and ö by oe in situations where accented letters can't be entered or displayed for some reason.

Just like in Japanese transcription of foreign words, a consonant without a following vowel is transcribed with an u ending syllabic in most cases. But since it is more important in Finnish to distinguish them from actual consonants with a following vowel, they are marked with a bullet above in horizontal writing in Suomitsuzuri. In vertical writing the bullet goes to the right of the character. On computers, horizontal writing is mostly used, because it is difficult to display the bullet correctly in vertical writing. For horizontal writing, the HTML code is <ruby><rb>x</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>•</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>, where x stands for the character that is supposed to be bulleted.

Those vowel-less characters that are not represented by consonant + u are d, h, j, m (in some cases, see above), n, t, dž, š, tš, w and ž.
