How to write Wendy in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Wendy becomes ウェンディ, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ウェ | we | two characters read as one sound |
| ン | n | n on its own |
| ディ | di | two characters read as one sound |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ウェンディ・スミス for Wendy Smith.
