    but if you use hyphen here in the USA it brings the domain value down... is that the same in China?

    Here is a great business idea for you... open a domain market place in CHINA.. WOW!

    millions of people in china, great opportunities.

    The Chinese domains don't have any hyphens in them, it's the Punycode that starts with "xn--". All IDNs start with this when written in Punycode.

    Any Chinese speakers able to comment on if the Chinese translations are correct & PRIME terms?

    I'm a native speaker, I don't think they are PinYin domains which shouldn't involve numbers . they are more like random passwords to me.

    These are not Pinyin domains, they are IDN domains. As mentioned previously, the Punycode that starts with "xn--".


    The Chinese characters above the English translation are what I'm asking if it's the correct & PRIME terms with the English translation of the word below.

    sorry I get it, the first 发型 & 发式 are two different versions of a term ,but 发式 seldom used,it sounds strange if you use this word just like there are many english words that are seldom used now and when someone use those words instead of commonly used ones , others will think he comes from Mars.
    The rest of them are different terms,Chinese don't say 组图 & 电脑网 ,instead we say 图片 & 网络 ,hope that helps

    native Chinese speaker? Are you looking for me, htmlindex? :)

    I consider you must have used some tool (i.e. iisp.com/domain/punycode.php) to translate the Punycode to Chinese GBK. (thumb up!!)

    But dazzle_me is right, the real Chinese for condoms will be 安全套 or 避孕套 ;)

    Your welcome! ;)
    By the way, I notice that you are pretty interested in Chinese.com and Chinese.net. Also in .CN, the real China domain name?
