HOW TO READ LOANWORDS

Japanese is rife with words borrowed from other languages. Read the following words borrowed from English and try guessing their meanings based on how they sound.

1 . 7 (j1) 1 J The small vowels 7, 1 , ?, .::. , and :t should be read together '----------1 with the character that comes before them. For example, 7 7

is not fua but fa, and 7 1 is not fui but fi. These character-and2 . :;t 7 1 A

3 . 7 ::L - :; 3 /

4. 7 I. 7

5. 7 ;;t -

0 6. / \ - T 1 -

7. 1- I. ''/ 7

small-vowel combinations are all one syllable in length, just like the other modified vowels you have learned.

9. :::r-;)1 - -t A r "l is used to express the consonant "v." The modified .__ ________ _, syllables beginning with this kana are "l 7 va, "l 1 vi,

"l .::. ve, and "l :t vo.

1 . fairu (file) 2 . ofisu (office) 3 . fyujon (fusion) 4. fea (fair) 5. fomu (form) 6. pati {party) 7. chekku (check) 8. hadodisuku (hard disk) 9. Vinasu (Venus) 1 0. vokaru (vocal)
