How to write Irma in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Irma becomes イルマ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| イ | i | |
| ル | ru | |
| マ | ma |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example イルマ・スミス for Irma Smith.
