How to write Tamara in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Tamara becomes タマラ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| タ | ta | |
| マ | ma | |
| ラ | ra |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example タマラ・スミス for Tamara Smith.
