How do you pronounce Chinese Dragon in Chinese?

"Chinese Dragon" doesn't directly translate to a single word in Chinese. It's more like a concept. Here's how to break it down:

* 龙 (lóng): This is the character for "dragon" in Chinese. It's pronounced long with a short "o" sound, similar to the "o" in "hot".

* 中国龙 (zhōngguó lóng): This literally translates to "China dragon," which is a common way to refer to Chinese dragons specifically. You would pronounce this zhongguo long, with the "o" in "zhongguo" being a longer, drawn-out sound.

So, to answer your question: You would pronounce "Chinese Dragon" as zhongguo long.
