It looks like a seal of two parts with the surname 李 (Lee/Li) on the left and the letters
"SUSUR" on the right.

Yes, that's the Zhuangti （篆体）character of "李"










Jake Perry -

thanks guys! super fast replies!
what accent are Li and Zhuang and Ti?
how would i find out all the ways
to write it in different seal scripts?

is susur a common chinese name?
i think it might be from hong kong,
but to my ear it sounds malay
or something else indonesian...










Fun123 -

Accent？Sorry, I don't get you well. If you meant the tones, 李(Li3), 篆体(zhuan4 ti3). If you
want to know how a specific simplified Chinese character is written in Zhuanti, you can check out
this converter http://www.youmade.com/shufa/
I haven't seen susur as a name in mainland China. (or maybe a nickname? 苏苏儿)
For the situation in Hongkong, you can ask skylee. If I didn't take her wrong, I remember she said
she was from Hongkong somewhere else.










Jake Perry -

i was looking for Lǐ Zhuàn and Tǐ, thank you!
i call them accents because they look like it
a tone is one pitch so only accent one counts
what does 苏苏儿 mean, and how do i say it?










skylee -

Information on the internet says that there is a famous chef in Canada called Susur Lee who is
originally from Hong Kong. And you can find the seal on his website.

Personally I don't know anyone called Susur.

I guess everything is clear now -- that's the seal of the person, though I'm still not sure how to
pronounce that even if I understand Cantonese.

susur means something in bahasi malayu.

in case the links are blocked:
SUSUR KELUAR KE = Exit to
SUSUR MASUK KE = Enter to (usually at weighing bridge)
Juruselamat dari susur galur Daud (David)

They do look like accents when notated above the vowels, but unless you want to go through this
every time( of course no one is stopping you), you should know that the standard terminology in
English is "tones".
