The basketball team "Guǎngxià" is pronounced as "Guǎngxià" in pinyin. Here’s how to pronounce it:
- "Guǎng" starts with a "g" sound, followed by the "uǎng" sound, which is similar to the "uang" in "watt" but with a third tone that starts mid, dips low, and then rises.
- "Xià" begins with an "x" sound, which is similar to the "sh" in "she" but with a slightly more forward placement of the tongue, followed by the "ià" sound, which is similar to the "ia" in "via" but with a fourth tone that starts high and falls sharply.
When pronouncing "Guǎngxià" together, it should sound roughly like "guang sha," with attention to the specific tonal inflections of Mandarin Chinese.
