質問: I often trip up in guessing the pronunciation of words that have been borrowed into Japanese from English where the original pronunciation had "ti" in it. For example, I might say ネイチブ instead of ネイティブ. I realised this is because the way those words are rendered in Japanese isn't consistent. Sometimes it's ティ, but sometimes it's チ. So far I can think of the words below, but I'd be grateful if you could suggest more. **EDIT: To be clear, I would just like people to list a few they can come up with off the top of their heads, for the purpose of new discoveries. No need for an exhaustive list.** ティ -- ネイティブ (native) ティー (tea) パッティー (patty) ティーシャツ (T-shirt) チ - チップ (tip) モチベーション (motivation) チーム (team) チケット (ticket) チベット (Tibet)
回答: Well this question is very broad, but I'll just list some I can think off the top of my head. I will be adding more as I come across them online. Do you want to include medical/scientific terms? There's a lot of them. ティ ``` ティーンズ teens ティアラ tiara ティシュ tissue ティーピーオー TPO ティルト tilt フェスティバル festival ``` チ ``` チクタク tictac チタン Titan/Titanium チタニウム Titanium チッカー ticker チルダ tilde ```
