almost lol you're so close.
He Tian: Huh Tian
Zhang Zheng Xi: Zhah-ng Zheh-ng C
Jian Yi: (this is hard because there's no English equivalent) Jee-an Ee
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
╮(￣▽￣)╭ Idk I found it somewhere I guess it's really hard to write how to pronounce Chinese words especially using English, and it's not even my native language. It would be best if I could just hear it
jian yi is like jyan ee
the Y makes a sound like "yam" or smth except for its jyan
he tian.... the E in He is kinda in between a U and an E sound and it sounds like a sound u'd make if u were punched in the gut or smth
Tian is like Tyan :I
Zhang Zheng Xi.... just look at the previous comment cuz idk how to even explain this
i'm used to hearing these sounds n speaking them so its just natural for me to read them in their correct pronunciation but when i try to explain it to ppl who speak english i realize how different chinese sounds are form english sounds .-.
lololololol
Right? D: some sounds can't be even explained. I have the same with my language when I want to explain something to someone English -speaking. And I think Chinese is a lot harder.
And thanks, I get it... kinda xD
Jian Yi is the only person whose name I've been saying right. You guys are amazing for giving us this! I still don't know if I'm saying it right so I'll ask a friend at school, Thank you though!
Lol. Did you get this from my post on tumblr?
Anyhow, you shouldn't use the pronunciation for Zheng Xi if you're an English speaker.
Read it as Jan Juhng C instead.
The post has long been updated.
yang yung shi if i pronounce it =X
*yang*
╮(￣▽￣)╭ Please don't mess with my head anymore
Lol. I wasn't informed that the J in the english language was pronounced as y.
lol back , the name isnt english its chinese. and they pronounce letters different. its the same with all other languages.... f.e. like z is in japan how germans pronounce s , and z in german like s in japan , or the english TH cant be compared to any other language, or if u pronounce sword or knight in english ITS totally different if u say the same thing in a diff language-- for me swod woudl look like zord or knight like neit. get it?it all depends on ur native language.
That's why it says that if you're an english speaker you should use J dude.
Ok, so we know now Jian Yi, Zhang Zheng Xi, and He Tian names, but I was always wondering how to pronounce them correctly, and now I know:
He Tian is read as "He Tien" (He like in word "her")
Zhang Zheng Xi is "Chang Cheng C"
and Jian Yi would be "Tsien Ee"
╮(￣▽￣)╭ cool
