happyhappy 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Just saw a thing on tv about the increase in "domestic violence" (in katakana) or DV as it seems to be labelled now. Why do they use katakana for that? Is it something "new"? Is there a real Japanese word for it? Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Foreign problem, I reckon. Blame the gaijin. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 One could see it as a personal admission on the part of the Japanese that they failed to previously recognise it as a problem... Domestic violence recognition and prevention, the latest import from the west... Link to post Share on other sites

mfurmane 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Probably no real japanese word for it...ignore it, it doesn't exist! Write it in Katakana, gaijin get blamed for importation. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 So how did they say it before the foreign word was used? And do oldies understand it? Link to post Share on other sites
