How to write Aleena in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Aleena becomes アリーナ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| リ | ri | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
| ナ | na |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アリーナ・スミス for Aleena Smith.
