Help me recognize this katakana character?
Hey, I have this string of characters:
![]() ^ I highlighted the character that I'm unsure of. These characters represent "Mirukuseeki" in Romaji, which translates to "Milkshake" in English. The characters I do understand: Mi-ru-ku-(see)-ki The highlighted character represents see, but I'm not sure of any characters that can create a "see" sound, besides: セエ "se + e" Thanks for any help! |
It elongates the vowel sound, like エレベーター erebeetaa elevator. Not a very good example XD

I changed the example because giving my name as one was kind of a bad idea hope elevator helps more :)

In hiragana, you elongate vowels (formally) with an い or う or あ (normally). In katakana, you elongate vowels (formally) with ー.
I say "formally" because, informally, you'll see manga with stuff like なぁ or な〜, too. |

ミルクセーキ ≠ milkshake = シェーキ or シェイク There is no icecream in ミルクセーキ. Never seen anything even close to it in North America. |
