Questions about word「かっこ」
Hi. wondering if anyone can kindly help me with following 「かっこ」related questions:

1) Recently, i learned this sentence: 「みんな　この店が　初めて『かっこ』なので、～」。However, I'm not sure In what situation(s)/way 「かっこ」can be used.
Can anyone help with simple explanation? Looked in dictionary, but not clear enough..

Answer

1) I would say that  the word in the 「かっこ」is emphasized. I often see the same situation in English with CAPITALS.

2)新幹線は「新横浜駅」に停まりますが、「横浜駅」には停まりません。

3)We wrire かっこう 格好 in kanji which means appearance.On the other hand, かっこ 括弧 means a 
bracket.
They have very different meanings.
