Before you tattoo or print Vladislav in Chinese

  • 弗拉季斯拉夫 is the usual transliteration of Vladislav: the form Chinese readers recognise as this name. The characters were picked for their sound.
  • Character by character: 弗 (fú) = not (classical) · 拉 (lā) = to pull · 季 (jì) = season · 斯 (sī) = this; thus (classical) · 拉 (lā) = to pull · 夫 (fū) = man; husband. Written together, a Chinese reader sees the name Vladislav, not a phrase built from those meanings.
  • 弗拉季斯拉夫 is written the same in simplified and traditional characters, so it reads correctly everywhere.
  • Left to right, or top to bottom when vertical. Never mirror, rotate or reorder the characters: one missing or extra stroke makes a different character.
  • Brush and calligraphy fonts change the shape of the strokes. Ask a native reader to check the final artwork before it is inked or printed.
  • The tones are tone 2 + tone 1 + tone 4 + tone 1 + tone 1 + tone 1. Hear it above, record yourself and get each tone scored, or check all four tones with the free Mandarin tones test.
