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