Definition in Chinese

用汉语拼音把汉字或词语表示出来。yòng hàn yǔ pīn yīn bǎ hàn zì huò cí yǔ biǎo shì chū lái

Word origin

用 (yòng, "use") + 拼音 (pīnyīn, "Pinyin") + 写 (xiě, "write") combines into the idea of using Pinyin to put Chinese speech into written form.

Usage tips

  • For native English speakers, Pinyin is a pronunciation guide rather than an English translation, so its letters show how Chinese sounds rather than what the words mean.
