“LOL! Hubby is Chinese. He knows what he speaks of. You are NOT Chinese.”

huh? There is simply no way to know the correct meaning or pronunciation of this name as it is written in this article.
You’re right, I’m not Chinese, but my spouse is and I speak Chinese.

I see. So you have learned Mandarin and you're an expert? LOL! Believe it or not but a REAL Chinese person does know meanings and pronunciation. As an English apeaking person, by golly, I can do the same thing with ENGLISH!

So, live and learn ... and stop making a fool of yourself.

Never said anything about being an expert. One doesn't have to be Chinese to know the language; it's taught in schools all across the United States.

There are 4 different tones for each Chinese character depending on the meaning of that character. When the pronunciation of those words are spelled out in English with "pinyin" it's impossible to know the meaning of the word without the tonal marks. However, from your childish demeanor I can tell that it's a waste of time trying to help you understand this concept. You're the one making a fool of yourself.

Good day.
