サンドイッチ — sandwich

🥪 sandoicchi = English sandwich in katakana: san-do-i-cchi

A loanword from English. Japanese syllables need vowels, so the d gains an o (sa-n-do), and the final ch gains an i with a doubled consonant (i-cchi). Say sandwich slowly with extra vowels and you have it. Often shortened to sando.
