How to write Gregg in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Gregg becomes グレッグ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| グ | gu | |
| レ | re | |
| ッ | – | small tsu: a short pause that doubles the next sound |
| グ | gu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example グレッグ・スミス for Gregg Smith.
