Yin'E vs Yin Er

I was going by Romanization in subtitles on Viki (2min 41sec). I often see subtle differences. More so for Korean as they seem to have different ways to spell G vs. K, u vs. oo. The second character doesn't translate (so far that site has been working great for me). So many thanks User:Panwink for the reference in the undo message. I'll probably make more mistakes in the future, but I'm trying to learn. --Vylmen (talk) 09:58, 28 June 2020 (PDT)

Missing roles

Character / Addressed as	First seen	Description
Mr. Bei	Episode 1	owner of the architect firm
Xiao Tao	Episode 5	servant of Ming Wei in the residence
Momo	Episode 5	Etiquette teacher
Momo	Episode 9	Senior servant in charge of Consort De's servants, guide to Ming Wei
Minister Songguto	Episode 12	Minister who stimulated the crown prince to go forward with the coup. Also his uncle. This could be Suǒ é tú if romanized very badly in subtitles.

Honestly these are probably minor roles as I cannot find their names on usual websites like yue365 or manmankan. You could try seeing if the ending credits include them. Panwink (talk) 07:07, 29 June 2020 (PDT)

Yes, probably. I'm at episode 11 and it's unlikely the first 3 will come back. All in all, they had more screen time then the young versions of the princes so far, but that can change :). But I'm also putting it here, to see if they are being identified differently later on in the series. I think Momo is a teacher/senior address for female palace personnel? Both these women are in teaching roles. The end credits are too chaotic for me to decipher, since I don't know Mandarin and they aren't romanized / in Pinyin. --Vylmen (talk) 07:26, 29 June 2020 (PDT)

Yup Momo means Wet Nurse. I can't read the end credits too; the words are too small. Panwink (talk) 10:12, 29 June 2020 (PDT)

Is that literal? Are they former wet nurses who are trained in serving at the palace and now fill a teaching roll? Or is it an honorary address, that refers to a woman that takes care of the young? I am learning that Chinese is a very associative and context driven language. --Vylmen (talk) 10:33, 29 June 2020 (PDT)

Usually refers to elderly maid in general, from what I seen on palace shows. I think their roles are not only limited to taking care of children, although its quite difficult to specify what they do in general. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Panwink (talk)

This article is quite interesting and I can see how you would end up with a lot of unemployed wet nurses, with good knowledge of palace etiquette and maid duties after a while, so it would be easy to select the ones with teaching qualities for follow up positions. Thanks for the help! --Vylmen (talk) 22:25, 29 June 2020 (PDT)
