Did you know?

  • In Japanese travel guides, アトランタ is frequently grouped with ジョージア州 'Georgia State' to avoid confusion with the country of Georgia.
  • Japanese speakers often refer to the city as アトランタ but will add the word 市 'shi' meaning 'city' to be formal, as in アトランタ市.
  • In Japanese, the emphasis on the syllables in アトランタ is generally flat, which differs significantly from the rhythmic stress pattern used by English speakers in 'Atlanta'.

Examples in context
