New Members JeGrootmoeder Posted November 24, 2010 at 06:08 PM New Members Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 at 06:08 PM Hi, A quick question for you guys. A Chinese friend said to a teacher my Chinese name is "Lanni" (sounds similar to my western name). The teacher replied that all Chinese girls like the character 'ni' very much. I have no clue which character she meant, maybe you do? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecafLat Posted December 7, 2010 at 03:50 PM Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 at 03:50 PM I think she may have been talking about 妮, which means "young girl" or "maiden girl." I wouldn't say "all" Chinese women would want this as a name; it will sound silly when you're fifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renzhe Posted December 8, 2010 at 01:24 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 at 01:24 PM I would ask your Chinese friend which Characters he/she used. It's the only way to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members yuner Posted December 9, 2010 at 07:46 AM New Members Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 at 07:46 AM I think it should be "妮". This character is never used alone.In some Chinese area, 妮子 (nīzi) means girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
