Talk:Yi Shào nǚ

Not sure if it was intentional, but Chinese surnames tend to be one character while their given names are one or two characters, giving it equal or more syllables than the family name. Plus, some pinyin are put together so that they represent one word: a casual reader might not be sure whether you meant to put Yi and Shao together or the other way around, though it only makes sense for Shao to go with Nv from knowing my own Chinese. However, Shaonv literally means "little girl", rather than "maiden." Also, unless you meant "iron" as in hardness, it's "tiě" for the metal called iron. --れび (talk to Lavi!) 02:34, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
