How to Say And in Mandarin
How to Say And in Mandarin Some English words have several possible Mandarin Chinese translations. Knowing when to use the correct word is one of the main challenges for both beginner-level Mandarin students and professional translators alike. For example, the English word for can has at least three possible Mandarin translations: èÆ' ½ (nà ©ng), Ã¥ ¯Ã¤ » ¥ (kÃ⺠yà ), and ä ¼Å¡ (huà ¬). Another English word with multiple translations is ââ¬Å"and.â⬠You may think that there can be no possible variations for and, but there are many different meanings for this word. It depends on the subtle nuances of the speaker or writers meaning or the context in which this conjunction is used. Joining Nouns In sentences that combine nouns or noun phrases, there are three ways to say and. All three of these connectors are interchangeable and commonly used. They are: Hà ©Ã¢ : Ã¥âÅ'Hnâ : Ã¥âÅ'GÃânâ : è ·Å¸ Note that hà © and hn use the same character. The hn pronunciation is most commonly heard in Taiwan. The example sentences are given first in English, followed by a transliteration in Chinese calledà pinyin,à a Romanization system used to help beginners learn Mandarin. Pinyanà transcribes the sounds of Mandarin using the Romanà alphabet. Pinyin is most commonly used in Mainland China for teaching school children to read and it is also widely used in teaching materials designed for Westerners who wish to learn Mandarin.à The sentences are then listed in Chinese characters in traditional and simplified forms where appropriate.
