About

The word 丹尼斯 is formed through phonetic translation, specifically by selecting Chinese characters whose pronunciations closely mimic the sounds of the English name "Dennis". Each character, 丹 (dān), 尼 (ní), and 斯 (sī), is used solely for its sound, not its meaning, to approximate the three syllables of the foreign name in sequence. This is a standard method for transcribing foreign personal names into Chinese.
