Here's how you say Confucious in Chinese: con-FOOTZ-e.

The final "e" is hardly pronounced, like the last syllable of "macabre."

Hey Steely Tom,

If you use your pronunciation, are you saying your average Chinese person will understand who I’m talking about?

Would that be Mandarin Chinese?

Cheers.
