How to write Beckett in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Beckett becomes ベケット, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ベ | be | |
| ケ | ke | |
| ッ | – | small tsu: a short pause that doubles the next sound |
| ト | to |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ベケット・スミス for Beckett Smith.
