To what would the sounds nou zi translate into english and equal into chinese

 

nouzi is the word supposedly transliterated.

"Nou" isn't a valid Pinyin (Mandarin) syllable. Possibly a Jyutping (Cantonese) rendering of 腦子/脑子 "brain".

It was in a chinese graffiti on a picture. It looked like it was the way the upper was meant to be read. My best efforts lead me to:

 

  • nòu
    hoe to hoe to weed
     
  • nòu
    angry dog
     
  • nòu
    variant of 耨[nou4]

Btw i dont have acces to that picture nor there is any way i may recall the chinese characters ._.

Out of the 8 candidate characters Google Pinyin provides for 'nou', I know 0.

I know what 耨 means but not how to pronounce it.

Ao an angry dog, and angry brain, zi means thing as far as i read. So wht the heck does this mean. If without a context an average chinese find nouzi what does he thinks it means.

Cantonese pronunciation for 腦子 "brain" is by far the most likely of anything mentioned so far. The other characters are all extremely rare.
