THE WORD ON SUNDAY

I want to include some Japanese lessons in this blog, I will try do a new word and phrase each week!

TODAY'S WORD ON SUNDAY IS:

ユニコーン

ユ 二 コー ン
Yu ni kō n

Yunikōn

See if you can work out what the word is! The answer will be at the bottom of this post! This word is written in katakana. Katakana is used for loan words and borrowed words, in other words (no pun intended) when the Japanese use a word from the English language it will be written in katakana. Usually they are easier to translate, if you can read katakana; because they often sound the same or very similar to their English equivalent, the words are usually uttered to make it pronounceable for the Japanese Tongue and also so it can be spelt.

Today's word was unicorn! Did you get it!?
