How to write Suzanne in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Suzanne becomes スザンヌ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ス | su | |
| ザ | za | |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ヌ | nu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example スザンヌ・スミス for Suzanne Smith.
