BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks for a translation of the word 'guitar' into Japanese, without using kanji. In Japanese, loanwords like musical instruments are typically written in katakana, which is used for foreign words and onomatopoeia.

Option: ギター
This is the standard katakana rendering of the English word 'guitar.' It uses no kanji and accurately represents the pronunciation as a loanword.

Option: ギター。
This is the same katakana form as above, with the addition of a Japanese full stop (。) at the end. The base translation (ギター) remains correct, and adding the punctuation is a common way to finish a sentence in Japanese. Since the instruction is to avoid kanji and the katakana form is correct, this variant is also acceptable depending on whether you want to end the entry with punctuation.

Why other possibilities are not appropriate here: There are no alternative kanji-based translations for 'guitar' because the instrument is written in katakana in Japanese. Any attempt to use kanji would be nonstandard and incorrect for this loanword. Additionally, if one were to try to force a trailing punctuation mark beyond normal sentence-ending punctuation, it would be stylistic rather than a different translation.

In summary, the faithful translation that adheres to the instruction is the katakana form ギター, andギター。 is equally correct when punctuation is included.
