renzhe Posted July 21, 2010 at 10:24 AM Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 at 10:24 AM It doesn't really say anything, it looks like a transliteration. The characters mean: mugwort rice jasmine - triumph. However, it's pretty obviously a transliteration of the name Emily and a character representing a surname beginning with K. If you read it phonetically, it reads as Aimili - Kai (in Mandarin). The characters are all commonly used in names, both native Chinese names as well as in transcriptions of foreign names. also, can someone please provide me with the correct chinese for 17 November 2006 二〇〇六年十一月十七日 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
