Talk:Pinyin

Untitled
Um, I'd like to just point out that there are several misunderstandings here when it comes to the pronunciation of Chinese. You can't just say that every "i," for example, makes the sound of the "i" in the English word "bit." It changes... for example: xi, shi, and si are all pronounced differently, regardless of the same English "i" being used. Pinyin is far from a perfect system... and this page needs to be altered to reflect that.

Also, 弟弟 (dì di) is pronounced (dee dee)... 210.253.243.157 (talk) 11:47, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Scope of this book
I've looked through the subpages of this book and while most pages can be fixed by adding pinyin (with actual tone marking) and their equivalent in Mandarin Chinese, pages like Pinyin/Hubble spots evidence of water plumes on Jupiter’s moon Europa & Pinyin/N Korea fires missiles (2016-03-21) seems odd to be included here. In fact, some of these are original research and lacks verifiability. Comments needed on how I should proceed with this. --Minorax (discuss • contribs) 13:37, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this was sent for RfD before, with (if I recall correctly) many of the offending content deleted. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 14:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The content seems fine enough (for now, didn't check every single page) just that pages (examples above) doesn't belong here, either a scope issue or is an original research. --Minorax (discuss • contribs) 14:49, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * In that case I think the best course of action would be to file these pages for RfD. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 14:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
