How do you pronounce the title?


Can someone spell Qui Ju phonetically for me? Thanks x

roughly "Chiu Jiu" in english i think.

this pronunciation is among the hard ones for chinese names.

The closest pronunciation would be "Chu J-Zhu (halfway between the zh- sound and J- sound as in English) Da Gwon See" although the "Q" in Mandarin is pronounced 'softer' than an English 'ch'. The best way to explain it is that you say 'chu' with the corners of your mouth pulled back, rather than having your lips in front of your teeth as you would in English.

I hope this answers your question!
