Spoken:
Cantonese = Shoe Kay.
Mandarin = Shoe Chee.

This doesn't take into account accents of course. But the above is how a Gwailo would pronounce them.

Written:
Cantonese: Shu Kei
Mainland: Shu Qi
Taiwanese: Hsu Chi

no joke............her english name is 'Fanny'

yep, its been mentioned a few times on cctv-9 (english chinese channel)
they called her 'Fanny Shu' -probably the most appropiate english name of choice. i wonder who gave it to her? wong jing maybe?

even funnier on cctv-9 was sometimes it sounded like they were saying 'fanny soup'

I though Fanny Fan of The Victim was funnier

Cheers Gas and LD.

Fanny Shu, remember Fanny means something very different in American English so I doubt they even know.

And British English too.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Nov 2006, 19:17

LOL no as we're specifically talking about the British English meaning

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Nov 2006, 20:24

D'oh!

What does it mean in US English then?

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 10 Nov 2006, 00:00

In Britain the front
In America the back

Though in Roald Dahl's Matilda, which is set in England, the American varation is used

Really?

My understanding:

American: The Butt (both sexes)
British: Vagina

As in Bum bag becoming fanny pack.

There is also an actress called Fanny Wong.

You mean the book or film Matilda, LD? The book is set in England, the film in America (right)? I'd always thought the book was set in England anyway.

In the book, which is set in England, Mr. Woomwood say's something along the lines of "you can't make a living sitting on your fanny all day reading story books" Then again, he and his wife do watch a lot of American soap operas...

Book? I am talking about a real life actress called Fanny Wong.
