How to write Adam in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Adam becomes アダム, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| ダ | da | |
| ム | mu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アダム・スミス for Adam Smith.
