The term "商旒" is pronounced as "shāng liú" in Mandarin Chinese. Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation:
- shāng - The "sh" is pronounced like the "sh" in "ship," and the "āng" is pronounced like the "ong" in "song" but with an "a" sound before it, so it sounds like "shawng."
- liú - The "l" is pronounced like the "l" in "love," and the "iú" is pronounced with a long "oo" sound as in "food" followed by a "ew" sound, so it sounds like "lewee."
Therefore, when you say "商旒," it sounds like "shawng lewee" with the tones indicated by the pinyin.
