There are two related expressions in Chinese "算是" and "不算" that I think translate very well into English. Literal translation is "counts as" ... in other words ... "can be considered to be" (1) The above answer by JJ cool is pretty close, except for the verb tense. 歐巴馬算是美國首位黑人總統. Obama will be regarded as the first ever black president of the United States. Italki 算是一種社交網路. Italki is considered to be a type of social network. (2) Italki 不算高科技的公司. Italki doesn't count as a high tech company OR Italki is not considered a high tech company.

Your chinese means "be regards as" that I thought. However, how is its pronunciation ?

you can use the term "considered"
