How Do I Pronounce Xi?
However, Hanyu Pinyin's relationship between spelling and pronunciation is not as random as it seems because it is actually syllable-based; the syllable xi is always pronounced shee (-sh as in ship, -ee as in meet), whether in Xí Jìnpíng or móxī (the Chinese name for Moses).

Also know, is Xi a first or last name?

iː/ shee; Mandarin: [?i]) is the Pinyin romanization of several different Chinese family names, including: ? (Xī) zh:?? ? (Xī) zh:??

One may also ask, how do you say Qi in Chinese? You're basically adding a "t" sound to the front of the "x-" to get the "q-" sound. A good syllable to practice the "q-" sound with first is "qi". For individual syllable with "q-", just apply all the comments under "x" above, replacing all the X's with Q's. All the same logic applies.
