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