Tips

memory

卡 (kǎ) is the universal foreign-name character for any "ka/cas/kas" syllable (卡车 "car/truck," 卡片 "card," 卡夫卡 "Kafka"), and 斯 (sī) is the universal closer for any final "-s" or "-th" sound. The same two-character stem appears inside dozens of longer transliterations: 拉斯维加斯 (Las Vegas), 卡斯特罗 (Castro), 卡斯帕 (Caspar), 道格拉斯 (Douglas).
