Just a tip for japanese imported words.

One of the basic rules for (terribly) converting an English word to Japanese is to add an ー symbol when syllable ends with r.

English - Katakana - Romaji
Saturn - サターン - Sataan
Controller - コントロラー - Kontororaa (also Kontoroora and Kontorooraa)
Partner - パートナー - Paatonaa
Normal - ノーマル - Noomaru
Hard - ハード - Haado
Heart - ハート - Haato
Owner - オーナー - Oonaa

I'm still a basic japanese learner, but remembering this rule helps when you can't figure out some common words and there's no romaji.

The other thing I hate the most is when two word parts make a simplified Japanese one (so you don't write it all).

Family restaurant - ファミレス - Famiresu

But that's a different story.
