I have a Chinese girlfriend, her name is Xiaoxia. Can somebody record her name so I can pronounce it prpoerly?

Question

She told me her name before, I find it difficult. I need to listen to the name many times! I am ashamed to ask her again!

Answer 1

i think you pronounce the "x" like an "s"

Answer 2

How can you not know how to pronounce your own girlfriend's name?! Then get another girlfriend who speaks your language! Stop stealing all the women. d**n it.  

Answer 3

wow....call her a pet name lie eexie

Answer 4

There are different pronunciations of words spelled the same in chinese, you have to know what tone they are according to the symbol they have on top of the word, but this should give you a brief idea.

click on the one that says "small; tiny; few; young", the link should tell you how to pronounce the first bit.

scroll down onto the one that says "summer; Xia (proper name)"

Now just play them together n learn her name!

Btw, i'd really suggest just asking her again and make it into a joke of some sort if your really embarrassed.

Answer 5

pronounce it as SHEE-OW s**+-YA :)

Answer 6

X= SH

Chinese changed their pinyin, Peking actually sounds like Beijing... weird huh?

Their romanization is a little odd.

X=Sh, so

She-ah-ow she-ah
