Did you know?
In Mandarin, some pinyin can look very similar, but it is important to notice their differences, for example:
- Check your connection, refresh the page and try again.yǎn jīng (eyes)
- Check your connection, refresh the page and try again.yǎn jìng (glasses)
At a glance, these Mandarin words may look the same, but there is a difference in the tone over the 'i' and so they are pronounced differently.
