3. how (used in rhetorical questions) shows an example which does not look like a question at all. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:51, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

It is, literally, "How could he be like a student?" ---> Tooironic (talk) 13:35, 7 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hypercorrection in Mandarin pronunciation recording

edit

In the audio file File:Zh-nǎlǐ.ogg the first syllable has strongly emphasised 3rd tone (at least to my inexperienced ear). Isn't this hypercorrection? What about the rule that with two 3rd tones in a word, the first one becomes 2nd tone? Should we include this audio recording as a pronunciation guide? --Derbeth talk 11:23, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
