I'm learning Chinese and probably not ee but huh is more closer I think
The e is pronounded Uh in Mandarin. So it is Huh. The Tian isn't exactly Tee-an either, it's more so T-yen.
His name is correctly pronounced Huh T-yen.
I googled how his name's written and apparently it's 贺天. copy paste this into Google translate to hear how it sounds.
It's pronounced like HUH TYEN. The first half is similar to saying 'Her' but without the sounding the r (NOT 'he', actually say 'Her' but without the r sound). The second half is like saying 'yen' but with a T in front so Tyen. But best to watch a video to hear the actual pronouciation
Ahhhh tysm!!
This has been on my mind since I first started reading this years ago, but is he tian pronounced HUH- tee-an. HAY tee-an. Or HEE tee-an?
