Is this how you spell food in chinese? I am doing a project about chinese food and i was wondering if that is how you spell it in characters, I am also looking for by and emily andreasen, but i can't find it or spell it by myself because 1 i haven't found any names, and two i don't know how to speak chinese. Any help or websites are appreciated, thanks

Does this say food?

Answer 1

The characters on that website is correct, and it's also the most common way to say "food." We rarely use 餇 or simply 食 to refer to food, and native speakers wouldn't understand what you are talking about if you use them in a conversation, so I'd suggest you just use 食物, as on that website.

Answer 2

Yes, that's exactly how to write food in Chinese.
Emily Andreasen in Chinese are 艾米莉 安得利亚森 But this is not the unique answer, you can use other Chinese characters with the similar pronunciation.

Answer 3

Yes, that means food in Mandarin Chinese. I think Wikipedia would be a good site for info.

Answer 4

Yes, it does say "food." Or, if you want to be very abbreviated about it, you could just use 食 (the first character)

The Romanized-Chinese is called "pinyin." You might want to look up how to spell your name in pinyin, but there are many different ways.

Answer 5

yes, that's food in chinese. btw, u don't spell characters, u write them. no spelling involved for characters

Answer 6

Yes. The first character means "food", the second means "thing" or "category".

Answer 7

餇 tóng - food
食物 shí wù - food
中餐 zhōng cān - Chinese meat / Chinese food

Answer 8

The link is right. 食物=food
