How do you spell in Japanese?

To spell a word in Japanese, you can use either hiragana or katakana. Hiragana is the most commonly used phonetic alphabet in Japanese and consists of 46 characters. It is used to write native Japanese words, grammatical particles, and word endings. Katakana is another phonetic alphabet that consists of 46 characters. It is used to write foreign words, loanwords, scientific and technical terms, and onomatopoeia.

To spell a word in hiragana, you need to know how to pronounce it. Each hiragana character represents one mora, which is a sound unit in Japanese. For example, the word "こんにちは" (konnichiwa) is spelled as "こ ん に ち は" in hiragana.

To spell a word in katakana, you need to know how it is spelled in its original language. For example, the word "computer" is spelled as "コンピューター" (konpyūtā) in katakana.
