"南瓜鱼" is pronounced as "Nán Gua Yú" in pinyin. Here’s how to pronounce it:
- "Nán" starts with an "n" sound, followed by the "án" sound, which is similar to the "an" in "and" but with a nasal quality and a second tone that starts low and rises.
- "Gua" begins with a "g" sound, followed by the "ua" sound, which is similar to the "ua" in "guava," and it has a first tone that is high and level.
- "Yú" starts with a "y" sound, followed by the "ú" sound, which is a long "u" sound as in "food," and it has a second tone that starts low and rises.
When pronouncing "Nán Gua Yú" together, it should sound roughly like "nan gwah yoo," with attention to the specific tonal inflections of Mandarin Chinese.
