Tips

usage
奇里 is a generic phonetic transliteration for foreign syllables 'Ki-ri' or 'Curry' — used for the Maori given name Kiri (made famous by soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, 奇里··), and as a name component in dubbed films and games. (qí) = strange/rare, (lǐ) = inside/li-mile, used purely for sound.
