@Leaf of Love: sorry, I didn't mean to insult. And it's great that you don't like to keep quiet.
I'm actually like that, too. And I'm super-proud of my race, also,
Also, I am very sorry I misunderstoof the meaning of "dialect."
I googled it and your right, Madarin is part of Chinese. I guess what I mean was "dialect is how you say it." So there are many dialects for Mandarin…
-
And btw, you're right I don't I do know how it feels to be that proud of my culture . . .

You're forgiven.
And, just because I am a very literal person, I have another thing to correct. There are not so many dialects of Mandarin, there are so many dialects of Chinese. Mandarin is the main dialect of Chinese.
Also, can you ask your friend about the dialect? Because "Chou" certainly isn't "celery" in Mandarin. Is she Taiwanese? Cantonese?

Oh I keep getting it confused. >.<

Can you ask your friend about the dialect?

There is no CHO in the Chinese language, but STINKY is Choú.

The way is "Chòu" is pronounced is Choh. Go on Google Translate again and click the audio button, the one where you can hear it pronounced.
And also, in Chinese, the last name comes first and even if Chou Chang means melancholy, which it doesn't, her name is technically Chang Chou which probably means something different.
Besides, I think it's cruel of J.K. Rowling to name a character Melancholy. No one want a name that has a negative meaning.

In this case, yes she would, because it's supposed to illustrate her sorrow (and weepyness) over Cedric's death.

Eowyn, I completely, whole-heartedly agree with you 🙂

Well, a lot of people hate her for that. She's one of my favorite characters, but a lot of people don't like her because she cried so much.
If someone died and I cried over it I wouldn't want to be named for my tears.
And anyways, Chang Cho can't mean melancholy, so it doesn't have a meaning.

Everyone, I'm sorry. My friend emailed me and she said she made a mistake. Chou does mean stinky in Chinese. She asked her mom (who is Asian).
