based on how most NorthAmericans proncounce letter sets. (Not many know how to do 'tz')

Thank you both for the suggestion. Since I'm including the pronunciations from the scripts (when available), however, I'm trying to stick with their way as much as possible--where Zao gao is "Tzao gao" and Fozu is "FWO-tzoo."

Great site! Amazing amount of work.

I was looking at bizui
shut up also can be used like hold your toungue ! be silent (ie a command)

zhuzui also means to shut up, be quiet. Perhaps less brisque?

thank you for your great effort

Great site. Whenever I've used a Chinese quote in my sig, guess where the spelling came from :) I've had your site bookmarked for a couple of weeks now. Very shiny.

Hey, all. I've been doing a bit of updating and revising lately, so I thought I'd give this a bump. 谢谢 (xiexie) as always for the kind words and linking.

Wow, what a site! Thanks for all the hard work you've put into translating. I do speak Mandarin and lived for a year in Shanghai teaching English at a high school and I was getting all set to translate it by myself and now - well thanks again, I can sit back and enjoy the ride. I agree our Heroes pronunciation is a little hard to follow but still not bad on the basics. Can't wait for the movie but haven't heard when it will be released in Australia. And btw, the show has never been on tv down here but quality still makes it way across the miles.

Xiexie. I didn't actually translate much, but there was a lot of "pinyin-ating" and "hanzi-tizing." A little translating.

Very cool. I'll never understand Chinese as long as I live, and I find those that do understand it amazingly intelligent.

Very pretty to look at, though! I don't think any other language in the world lends itself as well to art as does Chinese. Maybe Arabic comes close.

Actually both words are used in the same context.

Usually we use them when we want to show we are business ...

Bi Zui ...
Bi means Close
Zui is Mouth

Zu Zui
Zu means stop
Zui is again mouth ...

so it means the same ...
close/stop your pie hole.
