This is a line of dialogue Yahari anime:

> なので 気晴らしに **かるーく** 遊びに誘えたらいいかなっと

I do not understand **かるーく**.

Is that just an elongation of the vowel or a contraction?

question
meaning
What is the meanig of かるーく?
かるーく is the same as かるく, but like this (○○ー○) , sound to be long, that means
**really** some. For example:

  * 少し → すこーし

but unable to be used is many than able to be used.

answer
「かるーく」 is how 「かるく（軽く）」 is sometimes pronounced in informal conversation.

In the sentence in question, 「かるーく」 just means " ** _a little bit_** ", " **
_in an easy or casual manner_** ", etc.
