Hi Mohsinlee,

Could you please specify the word, I don’t really get it from you, we have many words which are directly translated from English, based on the pronunciations

Look forward to hearing from you again

Benny

Hi Benny

Sorry if I didn’t explain well

Anyway I didn’t mean a specific word

What I meant is: generally how do write sounds, in Chinese ?

In Arabic and English there is an alphabet, so you can use those letters to represent any sound.

But in Chinese, I dunno how , because I dunno a Chinese alphabet.

Thank you.
