Today's English/Chinese News: My Name

My real name is Denaz, pronounced Di nei in Chinese. Today I learned what my name means in Chinese...and have discovered that I cannot go visit China until I get married, ha ha.
Just kidding.
你好吗?我的真名是DENAZ, 中文发音DI NEI。今天我知晓了怎么我的名意义。。。和已经发现不能上中国直到我结婚了。哈哈!只是开玩笑。

A Chinese friend of mine informed me that my name, "Di Nei", is an oldfashioned term for "wife". So if I go on vacation to China and I say "Wo jiao Suits Di Nei" (my name is Denaz Suits), they might think I said "My name is Mrs. Suits" ("Suits's wife")! ha ha!

我一个中国朋友告诉了我的名"DI NEI" 是古条文为某人的太太。如果我放假去中国,
我说"我叫Suits的内", 他们可能认为我说了"我是Suits的太太”! 哈哈!

So be careful! :D
