Katakana, HELPPLZ!

[M]artin · Feb 28, 2007

Anyone highly skilled in the area of Japanese, specifically Katakana? I need help translating English words into Japanese phonetic sounds that follow proper Katakana rules.

For example, I'm given the English word, Guitars. So...

Guitars = Gi ta - su

( The " - " stands for a long vowel)

I have a total of 11 short words, but some of them are confusing when it comes to translating.

IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE POST A REPLY HERE AND I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH THE WORDS, THANKS!

Sure.

Edit: You should have just listed the words in your original post... I can't sit here all day awaiting your reply, you know

Alrightly, thanks a million!

Now, I've tried my hand at some of them already, so can you tell me if I'm right on these, or please correct me where necessary?

(Just a reminder: " - " means a long vowel sound for me. All these words must be translated based on English phonetic sound, and it has to follow Japanese Katakana rules.)

Electric Guitars = E re ku to ri ku Gi ta - su ?

Les Paul = Re su Po - ru ?

Warlock = Wa ru ro ku ?

And these I haven't gotten around to:

Flying V = ?

Stratocaster = ?

Nielsen = ?

Explorer = ?

Gretsch = ? (It's pronounced Gret(suka)

Performer = ?

Wave = ?

Gibson SG = ?

Once again, thanks a million!

Did the best I could!

Electric Guitars = ?????????????(erekkutorikku gita-)
this doesnt need to be plural. alternatively you can say ?????? (erekigita-)

Les Paul = ???????(resu po-ru)

Warlock = ???????(wo-rokku, i think)

Flying V = ?????? V (furaigu V)

Stratocaster = ????????? (sutoratokyasuta-)

Nielsen = ??????(ni-rusen)

Explorer = ????????? (ekkusupuro-ra-)

Gretsch = ???? ?(guretti)

Performer = ???????(pafo-ma-)

Wave = ?????(ue-vu)

Gibson SG = ????SG (gibuson SG)

This wikipedia entry is quite helpful for future reference:
