Tips

culture

Two famous Steiners cover most usage: Rudolf Steiner — Austrian philosopher whose 华德福 (Waldorf) schools now run on every continent — and Max Steiner, the 'father of film music' who scored Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and King Kong. The -纳 (-nà) ending is the standard rendering of unstressed '-ner' in German names.
