How to write Amelie in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Amelie becomes アメリ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| メ | me | |
| リ | ri |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アメリ・スミス for Amelie Smith.
