Hi, I need the chinese letters for TAZ so I can get a tattoo.
The Chinese do not have "letters." They are more like characters...there is a name for it but I don't remember what it is....
Pictographs or pictograms?
Something like that....
I need a million dollars. What's your point?

Ok....if you really wanna know.... I wanna, I wanna, I wanna.......
So here's the story from a to z....
Dunno if this is turning into something kinky or just another bad memory of highschool... Of course, mixing the two might be interesting. Damn they had all the worst music on the charts when I was in school. Friggin Aqua, Jimmy Ray and boy/girl bands spewing out of the TV like demons.
HEY....Don't diss the Barbie song!! Kinky? An exchange between me and J? Pshaw...never....
Don't forget the Venga Boys!!! Oh boom boom boom boom.... Kinky.... nah... raw, yes!

O.P.P, how can I explain it?
..Boom boom boom boom...I want you in my room...
Don't make me bust out Marky Mark and the Funk Bunch
...sorry, "Funky" Bunch...grrrr.
Cause this is how it is....on the wild side
Knockin da boots?
All I wanna do is runna zoom zoom zoom and a boom boom... Now that I think about it.. an awfully large amount of songs from that time had the word 'boom' in it......
you're right theval, i do have a lot of work to do. . .
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!! We gotta newbie....we gotta newbie...
if there's a hazing period i'd like to get that taken care of as soon as possible, and i hope it's dirty and painful.
The humpty dance is your chance to do the hump....
the hazing period doesn't really...um.. end? But I do have to ask you... Do you like giraffes?
do i like giraffes? or do i like, like giraffes?
ROFFLMFAO!!!! Theval! She is not ready for the giraffe!
Ohh.... too soon? Um...
hrmph. didn't want to know about your stupid giraffe anyway , , , and stuff.
Oh...you will learn about the giraffe. Trust me. You'll hear the sad tale of a poor snake as well. But J is right..it's a bit soon to do that to you.. Hey, you're not afraid of people with foot fetishes, are you? Um... OK....I got it.. What do you think about tramp stamps?
re tramp stamps: you shouldn't fault people for giving someone a target to aim for.
lmfao
yall are real gay...4 this shit...get some girlfriends..
Of the 82 Chinese dialects there are no "alphabets" in any, their written language uses a system of ideograms so no ya can't get TAZ in Chinese lettering
hi all, and first of all,,,sorry for my bad english... there are about 50.000 chinese characters and basicly chinese people always translate using a way so that the word hears simular and meaning something simular..... being here in shanghai for a apprenticeship and being married to a chinese woman, i normally ask different chinese poeple to translate and use the most translated word.... i asked my wife and chinese friends to translate taz.....they blahblahblah for a while to eachother and in the end they find the best way to translate TAZ....and for sure there is a translation.....
First off, as has been previously mentioned, there are no Chinese "letters". There are characters, some of which have evolved from pictoral representations; others are just symbols. Be careful of getting something in characters which may sound like Taz on you, because it WILL have another meaning-- for example, while the Chinese word for "Mini skirt" is " Mi ni qun" (this is in Pinyin, phonetic representations of Chinese characters); it was devised to sound like the english word "mini", but translates as "Enchanting/charming you skirt."-- similarly, Coca-Cola is known in China (quite cleverly) as "Ke Ko Ke Le"; it means something like "refreshing beverage" and just happens to sound like the English brand name. So who knows what something that sounds like Taz could mean. I definitely advise against getting something that sounds like your name-- maybe go to a nearby university that has a Chinese professor who could tell you a similar-sounding Chinese name that has a meaning that you like, but DO NOT get something random that sounds like your name tattooed on you.
Thanks Mia...but like I said many times before on this sight the chinese colloquialisms are just not simple and I would NEVER get anything on me that I had to have translated...way too muh room for error! Thanks tho!!
http://www.chinese-tools.com/characters/alphabet.html that IP address will give u the chinese alphabet i need it printed off maybe try going to the library and look in a book or ask for help im kinda stuck too . well hope i helped .
Do NOT go to that website and decide to spell something out with "letters" through chinese, it just doesnt work. The chinese language has no alphabet letters, and those chinese words on that website are just lame interpretations that were made up according to the pronounciations of english alphabet letters. You'll end up with a tattoo that makes absolutely no sense in chinese if you followed the guidelines of that website. p.s. Yes, i'm chinese so i know what i'm talking about.
For example, if you wanted your name TAZ.. T = ?, which has many meanings, like "carry", "mention", "retrieve" A= ?, A word that is more like a gesture, like "hey you/hey!/oi!" Z = ??, which can mean "Thief's morals/way of life" As you can see, it's completely ridiculous.
That website is probably mainly used for non-english speaking chinese to grasp, or get familiar with, the pronounciations of the english alphabet through chinese words that have a similar pronounciation/PinYin.
