Please can some one help!? Chinese translation!!!!?

Question

I want to have a chinese tattoo done on my wrist with my Name, (Louise).

This apprently it means Lu Yi Si in pinyin, please can anyone tell me what this "Really" means?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

路易丝= lu4-yi4-si1

altogether it means "a transcription of a foreign female name"

characters mean:

è·¯ = lu4 = road

易 = yi4 = easy

丝 = si1 = silk

Answer 2

路易斯 means nothing only a name just like Louise in english

Answer 3

As Juan Carlos in particular says, while the characters will each have a meaning, they are chosen because of their pronunciation in Mandarin, not to convey a meaning.  The three that JC chose 路易斯 are read Lu Yi Si in Mandarin.

è·¯lu4 a road

易yi4 easy; amiable

斯si1 this

If someone pronounces the characters in Cantonese or another Chinese dialect, they will say it differently.

Maybe not a really good idea.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Pinyin just means the way it is said. lol

Answer 5

nope soz there fibbbing. louise in chinese symp is 路易丝, and louise in chinese traditional is 繁體中文版 what they wanna write doesnt mean anything soz

Answer 6

Don't use this: 路易斯. It is usually used to translate Louis. Use this instead: 露易丝. It is more feminine. They are pronouced the same way.

Personally, I would prefer 露艺丝 or 露伊丝.

露 (lu4): dew/expose (when used in a name, it is understood that it means 'dew')

易 (yi4): easy/change (in your case, it wouldn't really matter because you would choose it for it's pronunciation)

艺 (yi4): art

伊 (yi1): beautiful (used to describe a girl)

丝 (si1): silk

Answer 7

means nothing.
