r
r is the Chinese representation of the phrase r.
Did you know?
- The Beijing 'erhua' phenomenon involves adding an 'r' sound to the end of words, such as turning 'wan' into 'wanr' to mean 'play'. This addition can fundamentally change the meaning or tone of a word.
- The character used to represent the sound of r in Pinyin is a Roman letter, but in the traditional Bopomofo system, it is represented by a completely different symbol ㄦ.
- While the English 'r' is often a liquid consonant, the Chinese r often functions more like a voiced fricative, similar to the 's' in 'measure'.
