How to write Christa in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Christa becomes クリスタ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ク | ku | |
| リ | ri | |
| ス | su | |
| タ | ta |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example クリスタ・スミス for Christa Smith.
