<p>I am afraid there's no transliteration in Chinese for "sticker". In Chinese, especially in Shanghainese, there are many transliterations for English words. For example, "司迪克" for “stick（walking stick）”，“斯博灵” for “spring lock”，“水门汀” for “cement”，“拉三” for “lass”，etc.</p>

<p>As for "sticker", if you have ever heard any Chinese says,it is just an occasionally borrowed word from English. That means if you write "give me a sticker" in Chinese, it would be "给我一张sticker". There's no Formal Chinese transliteration of it.</p>

<p>In Chinese, we use such words like "贴纸"，"粘纸", or "不干胶标签" for "sticker".</p>

<p>I hear people use the English loan word <code>sticker</code> a lot in Chinese, perhaps even more than <code>粘粘</code>, <code>贴贴</code> or what have you.</p>

<p>Although a loan word, <code>sticker</code> prounced in Chinese <strong>mainly</strong> sounds like a transliteration with a combination of:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>si • ti • ke </p>

<p>or</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>si • di • ke</p>

<p>I would imagine it would be written something like:</p>

<p>but, I have not come across any such transliteration in written form, yet.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-11-24)

I hear people use the English loan word `sticker` a lot in Chinese, perhaps even more than `粘粘`, `贴贴` or what have you.

Although a loan word, `sticker` prounced in Chinese **mainly** sounds like a transliteration with a combination of:

> si • ti • ke

or

> si • di • ke

I would imagine it would be written something like:

* 斯提克
* 斯蒂克

but, I have not come across any such transliteration in written form, yet.

Is there a transliteration of `sticker` in Chinese?

**Tags:** transliteration

There's no need for a transliteration. 贴纸 is good enough for translation.  
If you hear anybody say 不干胶, they may also mean stickers.
