How to write Magnus in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Magnus becomes マグナス, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| マ | ma | |
| グ | gu | |
| ナ | na | |
| ス | su |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example マグナス・スミス for Magnus Smith.
