Hello everyone, I have this question with this word in katakana.
クラシック
Why the tsu convert to K ??
I don’t found the reason why… Kurashikku
Is not the only one I found with that… I was think that was only this ones in the katakana: gojuon, dakuon, yoon and han-dakuon.
I don’t see how we ended having tsu convert to K… what rule is apply in this case?
ありがとございます

A small っ or ッ "doubles" whatever consonant follows it. (Really, it is pronounced as a glottal stop, lengthening the amount of time it takes to pronounce the consonant. This happens with other unvoiced consonants as well-- k, s, t, and p, for example:
バック -- bakku (back)
学校 = がっこう -- gakkou (school)
カーペット -- kaapetto (carpet)
言った = いった -- itta (said)
トップ -- toppu (top position)
いっぱい -- ippai (full)
- Actually, it can happen with a voiced consonant as well, although that's less common:
ベッド -- beddo (bed) 
OK.. i friend tell me about the rule or TSU... that when is small will be replace ask the 1 character of the next letter.. in this case.. クラシック will be KURASHIKKO- Thanks Fuonk
