The Chinese word "勃列日涅夫" is formed through phonetic transliteration of the Russian name "Brezhnev", with each character selected to approximate a syllable of the original pronunciation: 勃 (bó) for "Bre", 列 (liè) for "zh", 日 (rì) for "ne", 涅 (niè) for "nev", and 夫 (fū) for the final consonant, resulting in a sound-based representation.
