How to write Zaylee in katakana
Japanese writes foreign names in katakana, one of its two alphabets, by sound rather than by spelling. Zaylee becomes ゼイリー, made of these parts:
| Katakana | Sound | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ゼ | ze | |
| イ | i | |
| リ | ri | |
| ー | – | long vowel mark: hold the sound before it a little longer |
When you write a full name, Japanese puts a middle dot between the first and last name, for example ゼイリー・スミス for Zaylee Smith.
