Florence Posted September 22, 2007 at 08:45 AM Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 at 08:45 AM Hi, I need urgent help with translation for my baby. His Mandarin name is Jun Wei, Jun as in handsome and Wei as in great, "Wei Da". Can anyone kindly help with the Hokkien translation. Thank you.

dejavu Posted September 26, 2007 at 06:29 PM Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 at 06:29 PM I would say Zun Wee. I liked in Amoy (Xiamen) for about 8 years and my wife is a Kulangsu local.

Mugi Posted September 27, 2007 at 03:32 AM Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 at 03:32 AM In Church Romanization: 俊偉 Chun Ui In a modified pinyin orthography it would be: Zun Wi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejavu Posted September 27, 2007 at 11:17 AM Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 at 11:17 AM "Chun Wee" also works, and that's how it would be romanized in Southeast Asia. There is no set romanization scheme for names, so it's up to the baby's parents to decide. In Hokkien, it is pronounced like "zun4 wi4" (4 being the fourth tone in Mandarin).

dejavu Posted November 6, 2007 at 08:19 PM Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 at 08:19 PM My wife is due in early Dec, can anyone help me with Hokkien romanization of Chinese name 若渝? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seng09 Posted April 5, 2009 at 02:27 AM Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 at 02:27 AM Hi, Does anyone know if there is a hokkien romanisation of the word 勋 (xun)? Tried checking dictionary and asking the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan but no success. The experience with Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan has been quite disappointing. They don't seem to have any interest in Hokkien and might as well drop the word "Hokkien" from their name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
