ア"：Why are there dots on theア？(Is it supposed to be a muffled or growling sound? How is this pronounced?)
ナイフ：Western-style object? (Why not use the kanji for knife instead? Is it because this is a Western style knife?)

ReplyDeleteア： This word is used to express screaming and pronounced like "Ahhhhhh" making impure.
ReplyDeleteイ： Yes, you're right. Japanese people did not use knife to eat something normally, so the knife is the item which came from foreign country. As the result's kanji does not exsit.
ウ：mostly, the choice of katakana, hiragana, or kanji about products are up to the companies. In my opinion, hiragana cannot use "ー" . So the company might choose katakana.
ありがとうございます！
