How to write Eduardo in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Eduardo becomes エドゥアルド, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| ドゥ | du | two characters read as one sound |
| ア | a | |
| ル | ru | |
| ド | do |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エドゥアルド・スミス for Eduardo Smith.
