ち (chi) for "chochin"
Following on from the previous hiragana in this Moekana series which was た, today we learn "ち" (chi). Today's word is "ちょうちん” (pronounced "chochin") which means "lantern".
The katakana equivalent of "ち" is "チ".

You can use this in a sentence like:-
Ore no chochin wa omae no chochin yori ookii no sa
俺のちょうちんはお前の提灯より大きいのさ。
My lantern is bigger than your lantern.
Ore no chochin wa omae no chochin yori ookii no sa
俺のちょうちんはお前の提灯より大きいのさ。
My lantern is bigger than your lantern.
