Chinese, unlike Western languages like English, French, and German, does not have an alphabet. Instead, it has something known as a "character system" that is composed of thousands of different symbols (known as characters) that each have a different pronunciation. So, rather than spelling, Chinese write characters. The Chinese word for "one" is 一 (get it, it's just one line). This is pronounced "yi1" in Hanyu Pinyin and "i" in Gwoyeu Romatzyh.
An acronymis an abbreviation formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word. These components may be individual letters (as in CEO)
There is one sound or syllable in the word length.
'A lot' has two syllables. Each word is one syllable each.
aren't has one syllable. Are not has two syllables, one for each word.
Each Chinese character have it's pinyin. For example, the word hello in Chinese is 你好,nihao is the pinyin for the characters (2). The pinyin is spelled according to the pronunciation of the word.
