Tips

culture

In Mainland Chinese the car brand Mercedes-Benz is universally called 奔驰 (Bēnchí, 'galloping') — a brilliant phono-semantic translation that sounds like 'Benz' AND means 'galloping'. The full transliteration 梅塞德斯 is mostly used for the personal name and in Formula 1 contexts (梅赛德斯 with the variant 赛 character).
