Japanese distinguishes voiced (g-, d-, b-) and unvoiced (k-, t-, p-) plosives.

Why would you get so technical about it? Do you like using cool words like "plosives" ?

It sounds like pee, so I wrote pee. If I spoke Korean, which I don't, I would have given a speech about the difference between Japanese and Korean like you just did.
