カーティス
The English name Curtis is written as カーティス in Japanese.
Did you know?
- If Curtis were a character in a manga, his name カーティス would likely be written vertically, with the long vowel marker ー also turning vertically.
- In a formal business setting, a person named Curtis would be called カーティスさん because using a name without an honorific can be seen as rude.
- Because Japanese lacks a native 'ti' sound, カーティス uses a small ィ to create a phonetic approximation of the English 'ti'.
