How do you pronounce it?
kokomeron
Did you know?
- The Japanese word for 'melon' is メロン 'meron', but unlike in English where it is a general term, in Japan this specifically refers to the expensive, high-end musk melons often given as luxury gifts.
- The phrase ココメロン is written in katakana, a script used almost exclusively for foreign loanwords and brand names to distinguish them from native Japanese words.
- Because Japanese lacks a standalone 'l' sound, ココメロン is pronounced with a Japanese 'r' which is a flick of the tongue similar to the 'tt' in 'better'.
