Tips

culture

Phonetic transliteration: 伊 (yī) ≈ 'I-,' 尔 (ěr) ≈ '-l-,' 多 (duō) ≈ '-do.' The character 尔 routinely encodes a foreign 'l' or 'r' sound, as in 巴尔扎克 (Balzac), 乔尔 (Joel), 西尔维亚 (Sylvia). Often shows up in Chinese subtitles of fantasy or foreign-language films and novels — the exact source character can vary widely.
