Calling all asians.... Aphex needs help!!! FAST!!

ewe-en

Dunno how to type it in english, but it should be liek "yuen" or if you know how to speak chinese like the word for cricular or round. Pronounce it that way...

I can provide voice example if you want 😛
 
Why would all Asians know "Mandarin" Chinese?

To make this as simple as possible, it's pronounced similarly to (phonetically) You-en, except it should flow as one syllable rather than two discrete syllables. I.e. say both together quickly; it takes some practice because some Chinese sounds simply don't exist in English.

Isn't this the Chinese currency? And i think it's pronounced as You-Awn.

EDIT: Ah nm... he's right... it's You-en.

Thats cantonese... its literally spelled "Yuen"

In mandarin, its one syllable.... cant really type it out phonetically. I think its like u-when (except replace the e in when with more of an "a" sound)

ewen? like ewen macgregor?

apparently wade-giles transliteration was a lot better than that pinyin crap that the pinkos thought up when they took over.
 
hehe, glad the problem was solved...I was gonna say that it's not simple.

ewe-ennnnnn. second tone, probably? 🙂 lol
 
yoo-an would be a somewhat decent approximation assuming you are talking about mandarin

the exact pronouciation cannot be represented with english phoenetic spelling
 
fo shizzle my nizzle...

oops, I mean. .. yu - uen. I think you've got it already, that should be the canto way for it.
