Sound

Sounds like: c as in cat (your normal English k)
IPA: [kʰ]
Written in Latin letters as: k

Aspirated: with a puff of air. English p/t/k at the start of a word ARE aspirated - 'top', 'pot', 'cat'. These letters need no new sound, only a new shape. Mark them as 'you already make this sound'.

How to remember it

cough

ქ is a cough — the air comes out hard behind it. Same k you say in 'cat'.

The shape: a bent figure beside an upright stroke

Does this hook help you remember?

Tap the heart if it does. Hooks people like stay; the others we rewrite.

Its pair

კk'ank' · [kʼ]trap

Same place in the mouth, with a pop instead of the puff of air.
