How do japanese people write the english word "The" in Katakana?


My nickname is **"The Wonderboy"** , my question is basically how to write
that nickname in katakana. Is it: **ジ** ・ワンダーボーイ ? or **ザ** ・ワンダーボーイ ?




_The_ is pronounced as /ðə/ before a consonant, and as /ði/ before a vowel.
/ðə/ is closer to ザ and /ði/ is closer to ジ. ワンダーボーイ starts with a consonant
("w"), so you should use ザ.

That said, this rule is often ignored in transliteration, and you will see ザ
used regardless of the following katakana on posters.
