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