アナウンサー
アナウンサー · anaunsaa · JLPT N4 · noun
announcer
🎤📺 English loanword: a-na-u-n-saa = announcer, ending stretched to a long aa
Borrowed straight from English announcer. Japanese splits the sounds into a-na-u-n-saa and turns the final -er into a long aa, marked by ー. Often shortened to アナ (ana) in everyday speech, as in 女子アナ for a female TV announcer.
