Chinese (Mandarin): 手提電話

This can be broken down into:

手提 (shou3 ti2) - portable
電話 (dian4 hua4) - telephone

which can then be further broken down to:

手 - hand
提 - carry
電 - electricity/electrical
話 - speech

People also refer to mobiles as just 手提.

Thanks, but I already tried that, and it did not work. The reason might be that my laptop runs Linux. Could you (or someone else) post a screen image of how the text look like? Similar to what I did?
