Which part of Pinyin confuses you as a Finnish speaker?
James Foster
Sometimes it is too rough estimation and sometimes overcomplicating.
For example 有 is really easier to pronounce than the pinyin "yǒu" implies.
Austin Sanchez
"yǒu" /i-o-ʊ/ tone 3
Looks straightforward.

>that romanization
I don't know why, but standard transliteration of cantonese is really bad. I would pronounce this dish as "chi cherng fun". Cheong doesn't reflect the actual sound at all.
