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