lonny tao Posted November 6, 2011 at 05:43 PM Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 at 05:43 PM Hello, I need again a translation if possible... I was going to a chinese reataurant with the name: man wah chinese restaurant. The name on the restaurant has four chinese characters. I think the last two characters are meaning restaurant. But what are the first characters meaning? is that man wah? What I don`t understand, I read on the internet the first character means wen. ? so the first characters not meaning man wah? And wat means the name man wah, anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkhsu Posted November 6, 2011 at 06:47 PM Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 at 06:47 PM "man wah" is simply the Cantonese pronunciation for "文華" Here are the links to the characters in MDBG.net 文 華 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted November 6, 2011 at 07:14 PM Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 at 07:14 PM BTW, if you want to see the Cantonese pronunciation, hover over the double left arrow (" >> ") and click on 字. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
