The phrase ベルビュー (berubyū) is the Japanese way to say the name Bellevue.
How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is berubyū.
Did you know?
- If you were looking for a Japanese word for 'beautiful view' instead of the name, you would use 美景 (bikkei) rather than this phonetic transcription.
- The character ヴ in ベルビュー is a special Katakana combination used to represent the English 'v' sound, which does not naturally exist in traditional Japanese.
- Because Japanese syllables usually end in vowels, the 'l' in 'Bellevue' is converted to a ル ('ru') sound.
