In Mandarin, which is spoken in most of China, it's pronounced Gong Xi Fa Cai. Even though it's written the same way in Chinese characters, the pronunciation varies depending on the dialect of the speaker. I, however, speak neither =)<BR/><BR/>In Penang, where I come from, we speak the Hokkien dialect which originated from the Fujian Province in China and which is also spoken in Taiwan. We say Keong Hee Huat Chye.<BR/><BR/>So, anyway, lessons in Chinese etymology, philology and linguistics aside, Happy Chinese New Year to you too!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good wishes.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356738924839809045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14011761.post-32927905712068163242007-02-19T04:39:00.000+08:002007-02-19T04:39:00.000+08:00Happy New Year to you!
