The other day, I made my girlfriend shoot tea out her nose.

She asked me which movie I wanted to see. I tried to say "Chao Ren" (Superman)  but instead said "Chou ren" (Stinky Man")....cool

Words that end in the pinyin phonetic 'i' such as ri 日or shi 食.Commonly, I speak these words as though they end in the phonetic 'e' which completely changes the meaning of what I am trying to say.

Hulk:

What? I've been saying this the wrong way all this time?

Kaiwen:

I don't know Mr Hulk. The question asks what problems I have (or anybody responding to the question). I can't answer what problems you have with pronunciation.
