How to write Elisa in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Elisa becomes エリサ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| リ | ri | |
| サ | sa |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エリサ・スミス for Elisa Smith.
