TK-421 (pronounced Teekay four two one) is the serial number of a character in a science fiction movie (and also my charming cat). What would be the most natural way to write this down?
TK-四二一?
TK-四百二十一?
Should anything be done with the letters?

T can correspond with any [ti] pinyin and K corresponds with any [kei] pinyin, you could theoretically come up with something like: 踢剋-四二一– Mou某 ♦Sep 23, 2017 at 12:43

The Chinese translation usually comes out to something like: 编号Tk421– Mou某 ♦Sep 23, 2017 at 12:45

You want to write it down instead of read it out? then TK-412 is OK. No Chinese character is needed.– fefeSep 23, 2017 at 12:52

TK-421, as a serial number, is ok in Chinese. But pronounce differently from English.
