三、 Fill in each blank with the correct katakana. When vowel sounds are repeated or extended in words with katakana, a long “dash” type of mark (ー) is used to show the extra vowel. For example, the last elongated syllable in the Japanese word for ski is written with a line: SUKI I (スキー ). Remember to also use the long dash for katakana words with long vowels, such as コーラ (cola).
