How to write Bridgette in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Bridgette becomes ブリジット, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ブ | bu | |
| リ | ri | |
| ジ | ji | |
| 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 ブリジット・スミス for Bridgette Smith.
