How to write Pablo in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Pablo becomes パブロ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| パ | pa | |
| ブ | bu | |
| ロ | ro |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example パブロ・スミス for Pablo Smith.
