How to write Thiago in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Thiago becomes チアゴ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| チ | chi | |
| ア | a | |
| ゴ | go |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example チアゴ・スミス for Thiago Smith.
