How to write Rodrigo in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Rodrigo becomes ロドリゴ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ロ | ro | |
| ド | do | |
| リ | ri | |
| ゴ | go |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ロドリゴ・スミス for Rodrigo Smith.
