Tips

culture
特拉华 (Tèlāhuá) is the standard transliteration of 'Delaware' — the second-smallest US state, the first to ratify the US Constitution (the 'First State'), and a famously corporate-friendly jurisdiction where over half of US public companies are incorporated. The name also refers to the Delaware River and to the Lenape, historically called the Delaware Indians. Pure phonetic mapping: 'De-', 'la-', '-ware' ( huá here is the same character used for '' as in 中华 / Sino — but here purely a sound).
memory
In CC-CEDICT the pinyin is given as Te4 la1 hua2 — note is first tone (lā). It's a place name, so capitalize Tèlāhuá in romanization.
