How to write Leticia in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Leticia becomes レティシア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| レ | re | |
| ティ | ti | two characters read as one sound |
| シ | shi | |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example レティシア・スミス for Leticia Smith.
