How to write Clinton in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Clinton becomes クリントン, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ク | ku | |
| リ | ri | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ト | to | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example クリントン・スミス for Clinton Smith.
