How to write Cora in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Cora becomes コーラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| コ | ko | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
| ラ | ra |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example コーラ・スミス for Cora Smith.
