solidheronWe will never know the name of a human that lived 50,000 years ago
I just like to imagine there was a real person called Unga Bunga though. It seems statistically likely. Or some guy named, like, Andrew or something, but with absolutely no linguistic ties to any of the modern name’s roots, like it arose independently more than once.
Flax“Long” is interesting. It’s an English surname, but there’s also Chinese people called “Long” as it means “Dragon”
「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」 | (aka: 鳳凰院 凶真 Hououin Kyouma)FYI: 龙 is not pronounced “long” lmao
you do not pronunce the pinyin as if it were an English word
None of the 4 tones of the pinyin “long” even sound like “long” in English. I mean the “o” does not represent the same sound.
Sorry if I sound like I’m trying to start a debate for no reason, but as a native Mandarin speaker, it kinda triggers my OCD xD
