How to write Tatum in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Tatum becomes テイタム, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| テ | te | |
| イ | i | |
| タ | ta | |
| ム | mu |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example テイタム・スミス for Tatum Smith.
