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