How to write Nadia in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Nadia becomes ナディア, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ナ | na | |
| ディ | di | two characters read as one sound |
| ア | a |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ナディア・スミス for Nadia Smith.
