The Apple iPhone 4s was announced a couple of weeks ago. iPhones are very popular in China.
The hanzi and words for the iPhone is;
苹果手机 Píngguǒ shǒujī
Breaking it down it becomes
苹果 Apple Píngguǒ
手 Hand shǒu
机 Machine jī
Thinking of a direct translations in this case is how I can remember the word and the hanzi and never forget. This to me is a ready made mnemonic.
I want to buy an Apple Hand Machine. 我喜欢买一台苹果毛机。
Thanks again to Dim Sum for the original posting.
