How to write my name in japanese (Sanjeet)? 2016/7/8 18:42
I'm an indian and my cultural name is pronounced as Sun-Jeet(something similar to sun/son) in india. I just started learning japanese (finished kanas ,not yet touched kanjis). Is there any sound which can make SON word ? There are Sa,Su,Se,shi,so,sha,shu,tsu blah blah . But no one can't be used to form SON. Is that mean my name can't be written as it is ,in Japanese with same pronunciation? Or am i missing something?

Since you say the first part is something similar to (English word I assume) "sun"or "son," I take it it is somewhat in between "sa" and "so."
Is it close enough if I said it as "sa-n-ji-i-to"? (ji-i meaning a long sound) then it would be サンジート.

OK, I listened to it, and サンジート is as close as you can get in Japanese phonetics.
