Qiudihe Posted September 25, 2008 at 02:52 AM Report Posted September 25, 2008 at 02:52 AM So, I'm new, not that it matters... But can someone Translate my name into any dialect you speak minus mandarin...obviously... My name is: 邱迪和 Thanks Quote
wai ming Posted September 25, 2008 at 07:43 AM Report Posted September 25, 2008 at 07:43 AM If it's the sound you're looking for, 邱迪和 would be Yau Dik Wo in Cantonese (Jyutping romanisation: jau1 dik6 wo4). Quote
leeyah Posted September 25, 2008 at 10:52 AM Report Posted September 25, 2008 at 10:52 AM 邱迪和 is Hiu Thit Vo in Hakka (客家) hiu11 thit5 vo11 Quote
Qiudihe Posted September 26, 2008 at 02:56 AM Author Report Posted September 26, 2008 at 02:56 AM In 上海话 anyone? Are these translation in Romanization of that dialect or Pinyin? Sorry The romanization gets confusing Quote
wai ming Posted September 26, 2008 at 08:24 AM Report Posted September 26, 2008 at 08:24 AM Are these translation in Romanization of that dialect or Pinyin? They are romanisations of those dialects. You can't sensibly use pinyin to transcribe the different sounds present in those dialects. Quote
leeyah Posted September 26, 2008 at 09:26 AM Report Posted September 26, 2008 at 09:26 AM It would sound something like Chieu Dih Ghu Spelling 上海话 is impossible, if you've heard it spoken you'll know what I mean. The only way to find out is to ask a Shanghainese to read it out for you Quote
Qiudihe Posted September 26, 2008 at 11:56 PM Author Report Posted September 26, 2008 at 11:56 PM ^ Yeah I asked one today, she said something that roughly sounded like: Cheeyo Deeyo (qiu diu) Quote
Hofmann Posted September 27, 2008 at 01:28 AM Report Posted September 27, 2008 at 01:28 AM Tang (Middle Chinese) is *kiou *dhek *huɑ...not that I speak it. I don't know what kind of romanization system that is. Quote
