Tips

usage

A subtitle transliteration of a four-syllable foreign name pronounced roughly "A-ba-kang-ni." 阿 (ā, the standard "A-" prefix for foreign names — think 阿姆斯特朗 Armstrong, 阿迪达斯 Adidas), 巴 (bā, "ba"), 康 (kāng, "kang/con"), 尼 (ní, the stock "-ni/-ney" ending used in 尼克 Nick, 尼龙 nylon).

memory

Read it as four beats: A-ba-kang-ni. The 阿…尼 sandwich is a classic Chinese transliteration frame for foreign personal names.
