Please pass this Great Idea on, people!

I know this 信(message) will be 暫(ephemeral), but 吧你(_):傳(spread) it (or 吧你(_):改善(improve) it) while it lasts.

  • 我們主(we)   誠(_):知(know) (we know) [The colon provides context for a word or morpheme with multiple meanings or sub-meanings. Here, it indicates that in this particular formation, the verb is in the indicative mood, as opposed to, say, imperative or subjunctive.]
  • 誠(_)知(sabe).我們主現(mos) (sabemos) [A period indicates that the morphemes are fused, e.g. as with English sing, sang, sung, & song. The underscore, when used as a ruby character, is used as a placeholder for silence.]
  • 我單主(yo)   誠(_)知(s)!我單主現(é) (yo sé) [An exclamation point indicates an irregular inflection.]
  • 主(_):時(Time)  飛(flie)-他單主現(s) ["Time flies"->Time (noun) flies (third-person singular verb)] [The hyphen should be used whenever there are five or more kanji in a row and it isn't clear which kanji denote what collection of morphemes.]

胡錦濤／胡锦涛  ―  hú jǐntāo  ―  Hu Jintao 胡(Hú) 錦(Jǐn)濤(tāo)(see the meaning of his name!)

barbarian; recklessly; surname brocade; embroidered work; bright big wave
trad. (胡 錦濤) 胡 ] [ 錦 濤
simp. #(胡 錦濤) 胡 ] [ 錦 濤

Now tell me why we have "funny" American Indian names.

I mean, just look at 神禮. It could be 神濤(Godiva) or 神濤(Theodore) or even 神(Shén)濤(Lǐ / 涛) or something.

Latin

  1. c. 100-110, Tacitus, Histories: Book 4‎[1]:
    Obsessos hinc fides, inde egestas inter decus ac flagitium distrahebant.
    The ties of loyalty on the one hand, and the necessities of famine on the other, kept the besieged wavering between the alternatives of glory and infamy.
    (literally, “The beseiged hence loyalty, thence poverty between glory and disgrace were alienating.”)
  1. Ego narrow meus historia. Concedo me opus causa futurus et ceteri posterum tempus.

Sidenote: Yes, I know, but I wanted to see how cool his name would be in Chinese anyway.

So 神禮 / 礼 (lǐ) could be 神濤(Godiva) or 神濤(Theodore) or even 神(Shén)濤(Lǐ) or something.

[edit]

金日成  ―  jīn rìchéng  ―  Kim Il-sung 金(Gim) 日(Il)成(seong) or
金(김) 日(일)成(성)
So the meaning of his name is...

metal; gold; money
day; sun; date
day; sun; date; day of the month; Japan (abbrev.)
 
finish; complete; accomplish
finish; complete; accomplish; become; turn into; win; succeed; one tenth
 
simp. and trad.
(金 日成) 		金 ] [ 日 成

Hmmm, that's odd. This page states that his name means "Becoming the Sun". Which is rather hard to tell from the word order and the fact that there's no kanbun kundoku or similar annotations to help me (literally, it looks like "Sun Become"). Unlike Casanova, from casa (“house”) +‎ nova (“new”), which I can easily take to mean "Newhouse", even though they're in reverse and would be spelled as 房新 with a レ点(てん) (reten) in between, as in:

house new; newly; meso- (chem.)
trad. (房㆑新) 房 ㆑ 新
simp. #(房㆑新) 房 ㆑ 新


or, perhaps, as

new; newly; meso- (chem.) house
trad. (新房) 新 房
simp. #(新房) 新 房


Compare with Japanese 不知火 (shiranui, “unknown fire”), from 不知 (shiranu, “(I) know not”, spelled as "unknown" or, rather, the equivalent of "incognito") +‎ 火 (hi, “fire”).

Incidentally, Kim's birth name, 成柱  ―  chéng zhù  ―  Seongju, means "forming a pillar". See “A Speculative Essay Concerning Christian Motifs in Anti-Christian North Korea”, in Medium.com‎[2], 2016.

So what does 鄭京和／郑京和  ―  zhèng jīnghé  ―  Jeong Gyeonghwa, or, Kyung Wha Chung mean? Her name looks like

state of Zheng; surname capital; Beijing (abbrev.)
mix together; peace; harmony
mix together; peace; harmony; and; with; union; cap (a poem); respond in singing; soft; warm
 
simp. and trad.
(鄭 京和) 		鄭 ] [ 京 和

Does that given name mean "peace in the capital city"? I do not know.

Sino-Vietnamese

[edit]
surname clan name; maiden name metal; gold; money
good fortune; happiness; luck
good fortune; happiness; luck; Fujian province (abbrev.); surname
 
trad. (潘氏金福) 潘 氏 金 福
simp. #(潘氏金福) 潘 氏 金 福

Pronunciation

Proper noun

  1. Phan Thi Kim Phuc
    • So on the other hand, I know what her first name (Kim Phúc) means; it is "golden happiness" or "iron bliss" or something similar.
