How to write Daniel in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Daniel becomes ダニエル, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ダ | da | |
| ニ | ni | |
| エ | e | |
| ル | ru |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ダニエル・スミス for Daniel Smith.
