Moshi moshi!

Freshman CS undergrad. Knows Java, Python, and a little C.

Used to be obsessed with rep; now not so much. I'm more active on the Arqade site, and have recently gone into Physics.SE and other sites.

comment Why is watermelon written in Hiragana, whereas melon is written in katakana?
I've only taken Japanese for a year, so I barely know anything. My friend asked me what "melon" in japanese was, and since I immediately thought of suika for watermelon, I assumed some part of "suika" would mean melon. I was suprised tough to see that "meron" was the word melon in japanese. Does this mean the word "melon" came to the japanese after the word "watermelon" then?
