How to write Antonia in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Antonia becomes アントニア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ア | a | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ト | to | |
| ニ | ni | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example アントニア・スミス for Antonia Smith.
