Zhì Tāo
Character by character
Why it works
to reach, to achieve; great waves
Sound
The pinyin is Zhì Tāo. 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 致涛. 致 — to reach, to achieve; 涛 — great waves.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李致涛 (Lǐ Zhì Tāo), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
