How do you write 'St. Louis' in Chinese?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've seen St. Louis transliterated two different ways:

1 - 圣路斯银 shèng lù sī yín

2 - shèng lù yi4 sī - I wasn't given the characters for this one. I'm guessing the shèng lù and sī use the same characters as the first one, but what character would be used for yi? 一 ?

Which is correct? Or are they both used?

Thanks!

Number one seems to be a type of stone.

For the city, Wikipedia uses 圣路易斯 (your number two) and also 圣路易.

Thanks! That's it - I searched with those characters in Google and it was obvious that that was the right way to write it!
