Taikonaut is the Chinese counterpart for astronaut and cosmonaut.
"Taikong" is a Chinese word that means space or cosmos. The resulted prefix "taiko-" is similar to "astro-" and "cosmo-" that makes three words perfectly symmetric, both in meaning and in form. Removing "g" from "taikong" is to make the word short and easy to pronounce. On the other side, its pronounciation is also close to "taikong ren", the Chinese words "space men".
Answer:In Chinese we call astronaut as 宇航员(yu3 hang2 yuan2) or 太空人(tai4 kong1 ren2), one of the famours one is Yang Liwei, who was the first astronaut went to the space.
