買
買 – Mai3 – Buy
This is a perfect example of why I hate tones. 買 is buy, pronounced Mai3. But 賣 is sell, pronounced Mai4!
Buy, Sell!
買, 賣!
Mai3, Mai4!
They even look the same! IT’S HOPELESS!!
(English is not blameless though. Can and can’t sound almost identical when said mid sentence. Try it. Say “I can do it.” and “I can’t do it.” quickly.)
