キャバレー

Etymology

From English cabaret, from French cabaret. Most dictionaries list it as derived solely from French, although キャ (kya) is more likely to be a transcription of the English sequence /kæ/ (as in キャプテン (kyaputen, “captain”), キャラクター (kyarakutā, “character”), etc.), which is not present in French.

Pronunciation
  • (Tokyo) キャ​バレー [kyáꜜbàrèè] (Atamadaka – [1])[1]
  • IPA(key): [kʲa̠ba̠ɾe̞ː]
