スクリーン · sukuriin · JLPT N4 · noun

screen

🖥️ English loanword: screen → su-ku-rii-n, with u slipped between s-k-r

Japanese cannot stack consonants, so the cluster scr- gets padded with u: su-ku-ri. The long ee of screen becomes リー with the ー length mark, and the final n is ン. Say screen slowly, syllable by syllable, and you have it.
