Tibetan to English word

[Danny]

Having a issue with a word, only heard phoneticly
as something like Chucheng connected to flight or air, any help if that means something in English?

Thanks

[PadmaVonSamba]

Maybe
མཁའ་དབྱིངས།
Kha ching
Means sky

[Danny]

མཁའ་དབྱིངས།
Kha ching
Means sky

Thanks Padma, this was a chu or oo sound, With a hard ch. I’ve tried a few places and dictionaries.
But having issues nailing down the Wylie.

If you were listening to the word being spoken, keep in mind that there are sometimes slightly different pronunciations, depending on dialects or where the person is from, just as with words in English.
But, I’m no expert in tibetan by any means.
There is an app you can get that will translate different words or phrases from English into tibetan. From there, copy and paste the Tibetan translation into google translator and select Chinese as the “from” language and English as the “to” language. That will give you some kind of English writing so perhaps you can find what you are looking for.

I’m looking into the dialect variation aspect, I’ve even considered it might be Chinese in sound also, or even depending on the context of sentence structure (Subject,object,accusative, possessive, noun, verb, aspirant, nonaspirant, etc) as the aspirant, the hard chu Ch(oo) sound can render the word into a different direction of meaning. It’s a bit of a head scratcher at the mo.

I’m leaning towards something like “great eagle”
Something big, vast, great etc

Lol scratch that, eagle is
khra glag..., so way off.
I’m gonna drop it, it will remain a mystery.

Probably khyung chen (Great Garuda) which some Tibetans pronounce chung chen

Do you have any idea what region of Tibet that comes from, the dialect , Central, western? East? Is it kham, derge, mustang, amdo,
Upper/lower U Tsang etc

I have met multiple lamas from Kham who turn Kh sounds in to Ch sounds.

It is entirely possible that some people from other regions do this as well. I don’t know much about the Tibetan language, but I noticed the change in pronunciation while reciting prayers that I have the transliteration for w/ these lamas.

Padma,

It's not Kha ching. It's pronounced kha ying.

Danny,

Chung chen for great Garuda - Kham ked, Kham dialect

[Danny]

Danny,

Chung chen for great Garuda - Kham ked, Kham dialect

Thanks lama.
Next dopey question, is there a difference between a great Garuda and a khyung?
Khyung being of dialect origin of western Tibet and a Chung Chen of eastern kham?
I just realized Derge kingdom is in Kham Region.

Both spelled in Tibetan exactly the same. It's only a difference in pronunciation, not meaning or significance.

Appreciate it.
