How to write Alejandra in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Alejandra becomes アレハンドラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| レ | re | |
| ハ | ha | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ド | do | |
| ラ | ra |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アレハンドラ・スミス for Alejandra Smith.
