"Xie" (谢) is pronounced similarly to "shyeh" or "sheh" with a subtle "y" sound, like the "sheh" in "shelf," but with the tongue positioned further forward, almost like a soft "sy" or "shy" before the "eh," often in the common phrase "xie xie (谢谢)" meaning "thank you," with the first syllable stressed (falling tone) and the second unstressed.
"Hsieh" has been often phonologically adapted to /ˈʃeɪ/ "Shay" in English-speaking society, for instance in the United States, as a result of anglicisation. Other variations are pronounced "Sh'eh" and the spelling is sometimes modified to Shieh.
xiè xie. to thank thanks thank you.
