Dads name in Japanese?

Question

Hey all, basicly I've got these lists of katakana and hiragana and i was trying out doing my dads name , (david) but they dont do V's so I tried dad but they dont do any d's on their own!!!!!! Please help - thanks :D

Answer 1

my computer doesnt support japanese. so ill give you only romaji writing. ok?

david -> de + i + bi + (tsu) + to

*(tsu) is small letter

or

daivid -> de + i + {u+"} + (tsu) + to

*about {u+"}. just add " to katakana 'u'. this writing is allowed in japan now.

(tsu) is small letter

please check your katakana chart to write.

i hope you understand what i wrote here...

Answer 2

I think v's are usually replaced with b's...it's a similar sound. If you need a consonant on it's own it's usually the u version, which for a d on its own would be like "du" - but that doesn't exist either - so for d on it's own they use do - like bed = beddo ベッド

Answer 3

this is what david looks like in katakana：

デイヴィド

for the V japanese people tend to use a B, however, morepopularly they use a voiced U（ヴ）. (which linguistically is utter bollox). but hey who are we to judge. also note that the second イ is smaller than the first, this is because it forms the syllable VI together with the voiced u.

Answer 4

A man named David Aldwinckle became a Japanese citizen, and his naturalized name became Debito, written 出人 in Japanese kanji.
