Asked by John

A: What is the Korean word for gym?
B: It is 'cheyukgwan'. (short dialogue)
-----------------------
Cheyukgwan is a Korean word, so do we have to Italicize 'cheyukgwan' or put quotation marks?
Answered by Writeacher
It's best to italicize it -- and the word <i>gym</i>, too. Any word which is being used as a word, not with its ordinary meaning in a sentence, should be italicized.
