Schroeder 0 #1 October 20, 2005 Hi everyone, can you give me a hand with this? I've got a name I can't pronouce: Yijin Wen. Surely someone here has a friend, or knows a guy who knows a guy who knows how to pronounce the name. I really need some help with this, thanks!

Schroeder 0 #3 October 20, 2005 Think it's a english "W" or a "V" sound? (considering the name is chinese). If I ventured in the slipstream; Between the via-ducts of your dreams.......could you find me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,524 #4 October 20, 2005 My guess would be to try the phonetic approach -- that's generally what you have when a Chinese name is put into English letters. Ye-jin Wen Of course, I have absolutely no idea which is the name, and which is the surname... Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #6 October 20, 2005 Probably pronounced Yee-zsheeng Wen. We've got a lotta Chinese around here in Maryland, especially in the biotech field where I work. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
