<< review queue entry 82519 - submitted by 'bezier_benzoate' >> 梵 is always fan4 ----------------------- Editor: "Always fan4"? True in theory, but not in practice. One of Wiktionary's senior editors put the following in the entry for 梵高: (Pinyin): Fàngǔ, Fángǔ https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%E6%A2%B5%E9%AB%98&direction=next&oldid=61331711 Deepseek corroborates: Q: In mainland china, how is "van gogh" usually written (in hanzi)? A: The name "Vincent van Gogh" (the Dutch painter) is most commonly written in Hanzi as: 梵高 (Fángāo) = van Gogh "梵" (Fán) – Chosen for its phonetic approximation to "van" (though it’s more commonly pronounced "fàn" in other contexts). [...] You might occasionally see "凡高" (Fángāo) as an alternative, but "梵高" is the official and more widely used version in mainland media, textbooks, and art circles. [...] (In subsequent discussion, Deepseek claimed, "Fun fact: If you say 梵高 as fàngāo, most Chinese will still understand you - but art professionals will gently correct you to fángāo!") At Baidu Zhidao, there's a question: 梵高是fán还是fàn？ Seven out of nine respondents say "fán". https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/1241019704082381059.html?sort=11&rn=5&pn=0 Listen to 梵高 in the first second of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSDZsZE254Q |
