How to Say “Cora” in Japanese

コーラ
kōra[ko̞ːɾa̠]
コーラ (kōra) is the Japanese phrase for "cora," which refers to a carbonated soft drink, typically Coca-Cola.

How do you pronounce it?

kōra

Did you know?

  • Japanese convenience stores often sell コーラ in unique, limited-edition flavors like peach or coffee that are rarely found in English-speaking markets.
  • If you are looking for a 'diet cola', the Japanese term often shifts to 'zero cola', reflecting a specific marketing trend in Japan.
  • In Japanese, 'cola' is written in katakana, a script used specifically for foreign loanwords, which signals to the reader immediately that the word is not native Japanese.
