Dale is 戴尔 (Dài'ěr) in Chinese. To say “My name is Dale”, say 我叫戴尔 (Wǒ jiào Dài'ěr).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 戴尔 for how it sounds, Dài'ěr, close to Dale. On its own, 戴 means to wear.
Dale is written 戴尔, 2 characters: 戴 (17 strokes), 尔 (5 strokes). Each is drawn stroke by stroke on this page, in the order you write it.
By sound, with characters picked for how they are said: Michael is 迈克尔 (Màikè’ěr). Newspapers, subtitles and books use one usual form for each common name.
A name made the Chinese way: a one-character family name first, then one or two characters picked for their meaning. Many learners use one in class.
It’s a starting point. Ask a Chinese speaker or teacher before you put it on anything that lasts, like a tattoo or a document.
