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

The correct Chinese for 17 November 2006 is -

二零零六年十一月十七日 (to be read from left to right)

Thank you,

Its a translation of my daughters name "Emily-Kay" I have wanted her name in chinese as a tatoo for a long time but I have always worried about the honesty of the translations the internet provides, as i dont speek or read a word of chinese i wouldnt know if any translation would be genuain, it could be anything as far as i would know. anyway i can now understand my daughters name so theres a start and chinese is such a beautifully written language hence my choice of language

Thanks agein

skylee's is the "real", full Chinese, but 2006年11月17日 is also commonly used. Just offering options.
