How to write Misty in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Misty becomes ミスティ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ミ | mi | |
| ス | su | |
| ティ | ti | two characters read as one sound |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ミスティ・スミス for Misty Smith.
