About

The word "希特勒" is formed through a process of phonetic transcription, specifically to represent the name "Hitler" in Chinese. Each character is chosen solely for its sound, not its meaning, to approximate the syllables of the original foreign name: "希" (xī) for "Hi", "特" (tè) for "t", and "勒" (lè) for "ler". This is a standard method for rendering foreign personal names into Chinese, where the resulting characters often form a neutral or arbitrary sequence, though in this specific historical case, the characters collectively inherit the strong negative connotations of the individual they refer to.
