How to write Brenda in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Brenda becomes ブレンダ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ブ | bu | |
| レ | re | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ダ | da |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ブレンダ・スミス for Brenda Smith.
