tinkling jade; to cultivate
Sound
The pinyin is Líng Xiū. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.
How to introduce it
“My Chinese name is 玲修. 玲 — tinkling jade; 修 — to cultivate.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李玲修 (Lǐ Líng Xiū), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
