In fact, you can see both the form \u201c\u30b5\u30f3\u30c9\u30a4\u30c3\u30c1\u201d (<em>sandoitchi<\/em>) and \u201c\u30b5\u30f3\u30c9\u30a6\u30a4\u30c3\u30c1\u201d(<em>sandwich<\/em>). To start from the conclusion, both are okay to use.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\u3000Originally it was used only the form \u201c\u30b5\u30f3\u30c9\u30a4\u30c3\u30c1<span>\/sandoitchi<\/span>\u201d, that\u2019s why most of the times you will find this transcription. More recently however, Japanese people started using the word \u201c\u30b5\u30f3\u30c9\u30a6\u30a4\u30c3\u30c1<span>\/sandowitchi<\/span>\u201d, closer to the English phonetic, and more accurate for the pronunciation, and since then has been used.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\u3000For the same reason, there\u2019re other words from English that have 2 katakana transcriptions. For example, the word \u201cviolin\u201d. Since in Japanese there isn\u2019t the sound \u201cV\u201d, we pronounced it \u201c\u30d0\u30a4\u30aa\u30ea\u30f3<span>\/baiolin<\/span>\u201d, but now we can find many times the transcription \u201c\u30f4\u30a1\u30a4\u30aa\u30ea\u30f3\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\u3000In a similar way also, we may find foreign words that sometimes have and sometimes do not have, the ch\u014donpu\u300c\u30fc\u300d<span>, to make sounds longer. Party can be written both as <\/span>\u201c\u30d1\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30fc\u201d and \u201c\u30d1\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u201d, computer sometimes is \u201c\u30b3\u30f3\u30d4\u30e5\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc\u201d and other times \u201c\u30b3\u30f3\u30d4\u30e5\u30fc\u30bf\u201d. Both the versions are okay.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\u3000But if during a test you are not sure on which one is correct, well, you can write the version written in your textbook, just to be sure.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Vol.8 &#8211; ARC teacher Mimi Sensei will answer your questions regarding Japanese language. &nbsp; &#038;&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3287,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[14,1],"tags":[25,26,28,23,24,27],"class_list":["post-3503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mimi-sensei-oshiete","category-news","tag-japanese-grammar","tag-japanese-writing","tag-jlpt-n4","tag-jlpt-n5","tag-katakana","tag-katakana-from-english"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/mimi-sensei.png","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3503"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3522,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3503\/revisions\/3522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arc.ac.jp\/Tokyo\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
