How to write Sunny in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Sunny becomes サニー, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| サ | sa | |
| ニ | ni | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example サニー・スミス for Sunny Smith.
