1. Starbucks = "staba!"
2. Personal computer = "pas-con"
3. Digital camera = "digi-ka-me"
4. Remote control = "remo-con" (see a pattern?)
5. Macdonald's = "makk"
6. Kentucky Fried Chicken = "ken-chiki" (that's my favorite one)
7. Apartment = "apato"
8. Convenience store = "combini"
9. Air conditioning = "air-con"
and so on. They are all loan words from english, and i think we could learn a lesson from the Japanese system of abbreves. Think how much less chatter there would be!
Oh the cicadas are noisy! They sound like they're in my head!
