There is something which I am still not sure about which is should I use 誘うor 呼ぶ when telling someone that I was invited by the inviter who is the host/sponsor of the event.


For example:

私はスミスさんにカラオケに誘われました。

or

私はスミスさんにカラオケに呼ばれました。
I would go with "私はスミスさんにカラオケに誘われました。" I could very well be wrong though, so it's best to wait for Masaegu's answer.

On a side note, is 「カラオケ」 derived from 「空のオーケストラ」?
