This is part of what makes language learning to fun! You can say a word 4-5+ ways and mean TOTALLY different things 
- mā – 1st tone = mother
- má – 2nd tone = numb
- mǎ – 3rd tone = horse
- mà – 4th tone = scold
5. neutral ma = question particle
I need to start tracking my language bloopers, like yesterday when someone said I needed to wear more layers because it was cold and I told them I was really hungry instead of really warm. Or, maybe when I called the zoo and asked the lady if they were happy today instead of open? Yeah.
All smiles here
!! Lots of memories being made!
Aw – I bet you made her day (the lady at the zoo) asking if she was happy! No one EVER calls to ask her that!
Giggling about the fact that you could call your mother a horse. Innocently of course.
Hee!!!
