'Conbini' is a loan word from English meaning 'convenience store.' Please forgive the originators of the word for spelling it so they can understand as Convenience starts with the letter 'c.'
- Freak_NL 2y ago'Convenience' also has 've' instead of 'bi', but that's not relevant. The loanword is コンビニ. When romanizing Japanese (or any other language) the etymology of a loanword has no influence on the romanized form (konbini).
