"Hong, the big [school]" or "Hong-U") Other acronyms can refer to the university's main subject, e.g. Korea National University of Education (, Hanguk Gyowon Daehakgyo) is shortened to Gyowondae (교원대, "Big Ed." or "Ed.-U"). Other schools use a Koreanized version of their English acronym. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (, Hanguk Gwahak Gisulwon) is referred to as KAIST (, Kaiseuteu) in both English and Korean. The 3 most prestigious schools in Korea are known as SKY (스카이, seukai), combining the first letter of their English names (Seoul National, Korea, and Yonsei Universities). In addition, the College Scholastic Ability Test (, Daehak Suhang Neungryeok Siheom) is shortened to Suneung (, "S.A."). Japanese The Japanese language makes extensive use of abbreviations, but only some of these are acronyms. Chinese-based words (Sino-Japanese vocabulary) uses similar acronym formation to Chinese, like for . In some cases alternative pronunciations are used, as in Saikyō for 埼京, from , rather than Saitō. Non-Chinese foreign borrowings (gairaigo) are instead frequently abbreviated as clipped compounds, rather than acronyms, using several initial sounds. This is visible in katakana transcriptions of foreign words, but is also found with native words (written in hiragana). For example, the Pokémon media franchise's name originally stood for "pocket monsters" ( [po-ke-tto-mon-su-tā] → ), which is still the long-form of the name in Japanese, and "wāpuro" stands for "word processor" ( [wā-do-pu-ro-se-ssā]→ ). German To a greater degree than English does, German tends toward acronyms that use initial syllables rather than initial single letters, although it uses many of the latter type as well. Some examples of the syllabic type are Gestapo rather than GSP (for , 'Secret State Police'); rather than FAK (for , anti-aircraft gun); rather than KP (for , detective division police). The extension of such contraction to a pervasive or whimsical degree has been mockingly labeled (for , strange habit of abbreviating). Examples of include (for , short in the front, long in the back, i.e., a mullet) and the mocking of Adolf Hitler's title as (, "Greatest General of all Times"). Hebrew It is common to take more than just one initial letter from each of the words composing the acronym; regardless of this, the abbreviation sign gershayim is always written between the second-last and last letters of the non-inflected form of the acronym, even if by this it separates letters of the same original word.
