How do you say Justin Bieber in Chinese?

There are a couple of ways to say "Justin Bieber" in Chinese, depending on the dialect and the level of formality:

Mandarin:

* Simplified: 贾斯汀·比伯 (Jiǎsītīng Bǐbó)

* Traditional: 賈斯汀·比伯 (Jiǎsītīng Bǐbó)

Cantonese:

* Jyutping: gaa2 si1 ting1 bei2 bo1

* Yale: gaa2 si1 ting1 bei2 bo1

Notes:

* The romanized spellings above are just approximations of the pronunciation. The actual sounds will depend on your pronunciation of Mandarin or Cantonese.

* The "·" symbol separates the two names.

* In Chinese, surnames usually come before given names.

Other Considerations:

* You could also use a transliteration system like pinyin or Wade-Giles, but these might not be as widely understood.

* You could ask a native speaker for help in saying the name correctly.
