About

The word "芝加哥" is formed through phonetic transcription, where each character is selected solely for its sound to approximate the English name "Chicago": "芝" (zhī) mimics "Chi", "加" (jiā) mimics "ca", and "哥" (gē) mimics "go", resulting in a pronunciation that replicates the original name without attributing meaning to the characters themselves.
