Why it reads this way
语毅 (Yǔ Yì) is an editorial Chinese given name. 语 means language, words; saying, expression. 毅 means resolute, decisive, firm, persist. The feel is resolute, articulate, strong, leaning male. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Yǔ Yì. 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 语毅. 语 — language, words; saying, expression; 毅 — resolute, decisive, firm, persist.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李语毅 (Lǐ Yǔ Yì), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
