How to write Enrique in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Enrique becomes エンリケ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| エ | e | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| リ | ri | |
| ケ | ke |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example エンリケ・スミス for Enrique Smith.
