レポート; リポート · repooto; ripooto · JLPT N4 · noun

report

📄 repooto = English report in katakana; the long oo stands in for the or

A loanword from English report. Japanese has no final t, so it gains an o, and the or sound stretches into a long o: re-poo-to. リポート is the same word spelled closer to the English ri- sound; レポート is more common, especially for school papers.
