Atreyyu Posted January 2, 2006 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 at 04:04 PM it could be very nice to me if somebody could give me the names of these cities in chinese: columbus, ohio; virginia beach, virginia; kansas city, missouri; colorado springs, colorado; baton rouge, louisiana; st. petersburg, florida; corpus christi, texas. i also have a question: does in names of cities such as kansas city or virginia beach, words "beach" and city" are translated tan1 and cheng2 or, for example, "piche" and "jiti"? thanks in advance.

Ncao Posted January 3, 2006 at 02:31 AM Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 at 02:31 AM Texas can be abbreviated as 德州 and I think Florida as 佛州 (but not really sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
