Is chinese actress Ziyi Zhang's first name "Ziyi" or "Zhang" ? I always get confused.?

Her name is Ziyi because in the States, we always want the first name, then last. If she was in Japan or Korea or any other Asian country, then it would be Zhang Ziya. Over here as well as in Europe, it would be first name, then last. hope that helps.

Best Actress - Touzours. She had everyone fooled for several months over her gender and her relationship with RO35!!!\n\nBest Actor - RO35, for the same reason. Apart from his gender which was never in question. Italian stallion from the start!!!

Erm... this is weird.  The last character is not Chinese, it looks Korean.  Sorry but I don't understand the characters except for the first one, 談.  It means "to talk about / to discuss".

我的母亲名孙庄，今年四十三岁，是一个科学家。父亲名孙二庄，四十六岁，是一位律师。我的哥哥是郑家庄，他在台湾教书，弟弟二十岁，名叫毛泽中，是个共产主意者。我还有一个妹妹，她名叫李娴庄，她在Samsung工作。而我呢？我今年二十一岁，是日本，韩国及台湾的皇帝。\nThat's the best I can do for you, but I think you are really ridiculous! Oh, and the names, I'm not sure if those are the exact words. Good Luck!\nOh, boy, it seems that you can only see a bit of the translation, I'll try to mail you the rest.

There's only one way: Asia. Why spell it a different way? Why make it impossible for everyone to remember how to spell someone's oddball name?

As a matter of fact, "Shi1" is a Chinese character rather than a word.In spoken Chinese, every one uses "shi1-zi0" instead of "shi1", i.e. the Chinese word for lion is a two-syllable one.

While exact translations of American names into Chinese is nearly impossible, this website provides translations based upon desired essence of the name, gender, and birthdate. You simply input the American "Given name" (first name), "Family name" (last name), etc, and it will translate for you.  \nhttp://www.mandarintools.com/chinesename.html

It translates directly to: You are Chinese person?\n\nHowever, most Chinese phrases can't be translated directly.  A more sensible translation would be: You are Chinese.  That phrase is actually a statement.  To make it a question, you would have to add a "ma" (ni shi zhong guo ren ma"?)  Then, it would mean, "Are you Chinese"

I'm Chinese, so trust me on this:  regardless of what any of the other self-professing "Chinese Experts" may have already told you on this website so far, believe me when I say that Pang is the family name (which is the equivalent to a last name in your English system), Shu is the middle name, and Guo is the first name.  The Chinese usually write their family names first, followed by their middle name (if any), and then their first name last.  And, if you're writing a letter or e-mail to him, you have a few options here as to how you would start to address him:\n\n1. Ah Guo Ar - use this beginning if he's a close and personal friend (coz this is how Chinese close friends and families address each other in speech, and written characters: "Ah [name] Ar")\n2. Xiao Guo - here, "Xiao" means "Small" or "Young", and you'd only use this beginning if he's indeed younger than you , and is a close friend.\n3. Mr. Pang (or "Pang Xian Sheng") - use this if you need to be formal (or, if he's only an associate, and not a friend).\n4. Shu Guo, or Shuguo (either way is fine) - use this if he's a friend of the same age, or level; in other words, your peer.\n5. Pang Shuguo - address him by his whole name if you want to sound a little sarcastic (just like you would in the English language).\n\nI hope all this helps.
