How to write Vada in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Vada becomes ベイダ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ベ | be | |
| イ | i | |
| ダ | da |
You may also see Vada written ヴェイダ (Veida). Both are used; ベイダ is the more common spelling.
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ベイダ・スミス for Vada Smith.
