Hey. Welcome to FWS. We have quite a few people here who speak Chinese.

Hmm, your grammar is much better than the average Chinese.

 

[Blank Verse]

Hi! Yeah, I'm done. Welcome to the forum.

Hey welcome. Just wondering, how to pronounce 'Xiao'. I notice Chinese from China have names starting with the letter X. The Chinese here dont really have names starting with X.

 

[LeX]

It's supposed to sound like "sh" ...

 

[Robert]

"sh"+"eye"+"o"?

Shiao?

 

[LeX]

More like, "shee-ow"

 

[Robert]

I see. Interesting.

Really? Ive always pronounced it like an X. What exactly does xiao mean?

 

[LeX]

It could stand for a number of words, but usually it stands for "small/little" ... it's a word Chinese people add to nicknames. Say for example your name is "Aaa Bbb Ccc" ... then your nickname could be something like "Xiao Bbb" or "Xiao Ccc" ... it doesn't actually imply that you're small or anything, it's just so that it sounds ... better.

I don't get why they use X for "sh" sounds either. Ask the Chinese government.
