How to say "fa" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • nounThe solfège syllable fa, the fourth note of a major scale in movable-do solfège, used when singing or naming notes in music. It covers only this musical sense, not the abbreviation FA.
  • nounNot the musical note: this is the full form of FA, factory automation, an industrial term. As a rendering of 'fa' it is marginal — use it only when 'fa' stands for the abbreviation FA.

Use 「ファ」 for the musical syllable fa in solfège; 「ファクトリーオートメーション」 is the full term for the abbreviation FA, factory automation, and belongs to industrial rather than musical contexts.
