Chinese Pinyin Translation?

Djinn Raffo · 11-01-2001, 08:05 PM

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me the translation of these words...
In pinyin...and i think they all names.
Are they just names like Frank and Jane? Are they names that might mean something else, like 'Subtle Flower' or something like that? Or are they just gibberish? Thanks any help would be appreciated...

Do you have the tone of how these pinyin should be pronounced? (1, 2, 3 or 4)

Are there any more words being used in conjunction with these? So far, it doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

Are these the hanyu pinyin spellings, or are they spelt phonetically (what they sound like to you)?

Hm...

Maybe your Ying and Yang needs some Yong

I dont know how they would be pronounced...the last one Sun Ce is a character in a translated book ive read. So are the Xiahou parts of the other two.
Hmm guess thats the trouble with pinyin.

Ce i think would be pronounced in english: Say
Xiahou would be pronounced: Zee-ah-how or possibly zhao.

Well thanks for trying anyway you guys!

Sjia Hau is kinda like how you would write it in dutch but ehm...
without the accents each part of the words can mean 10 different tings
we really need the accents upon them (as mistral said)
and even then i cannot translate it but maybe the others can
