Ni chuan. means well, I don't know what the Ni stands for but Chuan is
spring. Ni possibly means curse if it's one of the chinese words I
don't
know.
Well, all I really know is that "ni" is used as "you" in Chinese <I
think>.
So Nyannichuan would probably mean "Young Girl you Spring." I guess in
a
way it would make sense...
But then again, I am the last person to consult when it comes to
Chinese,
being Chinese but NEVER learning the language, let along Romanization of
Chinese words. ^_^
Hi there,
I study Chinese and I'd be happy to help you with any words. I'm only a
beginner but "ni" means drown. So Ni Chuan really "drown (in) spring". So
for example the Nan_ni_chuan would mean Man_drown_(in)_spring.
The "Ni" meaning "you" that you were referring to is correct in a way.
This is because Chinese words have four possible meanings. "You" and
"drown" are just two possible meanings. Feel free to ask me any questions
but I can't gaurantee that I know every word that you want.
