フォーム

フォーム · fuォumu · JLPT N1 · noun

フォーム — form

🫧 フォーム sounds like 'foam' with a Japanese accent: fuo-mu. Foam is the bubbly stuff on a cappuccino, and the same loanword also means form, as in a sign-up form.

Japanese borrowed フォーム from English, so the loanword keeps both meanings: foam (bubbles) and form (a blank to fill in). Context tells you which one.
