karaoke
English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Japanese カラオケ (karaoke), from 空 (kara, “empty”) + オケ (oke, “orchestra”), a clipping of オーケストラ (ōkesutora), from English orchestra.
Pronunciation[edit]
- (UK) IPA(key): /ˈkæ.ɹiˌəʊ.ki/, /ˈkæ.ɹəˌəʊ.ki/ (anglicized)
Audio (UK) (file) - (US) enPR: kâ'rē-ōʹkē, IPA(key): /ˌkæ.ɹiˈoʊ.ki/
- (emulating Japanese) enPR: kä-rä-ō'kā, IPA(key): /kɑːɹɑːˌokeɪ/, /kɑːɹɑːˌokɛ/ (Pronounced both emulating Japanese (pure [ɑː] vowels, terminal [e̞], approximated by [ɛ] or [eɪ]), and, more commonly, in anglicized form (initial-syllable [æ], terminal [iː]). Compare pronunciation of end of karate, which has undergone the same adaptation, and of bokeh, which has not, as reflected in the spelling.)
