The four sports words you must know
- サッカー sakkaa soccer
- テニス tenisu tennis
- やきゅう（野球） yakyuu baseball
- たっきゅう（卓球） takkyuu table tennis
We’re using many words from English as loan words. Especially, many sports-related words are from English. That’s why they are written in katakana.
きゅう（球）means ball. Sports with “きゅう（球）” in the name are those that use a ball.
