Word usage
- Note"谁(shuí)" can also be pronounced as "shéi". “shuí” is difficult to pronounce, so it has developed and changed into "shéi”. Now most dictionaries adopt “shéi” as the main pronunciation of 谁, and "shuí" is often used in literature or very formal occasions, "shéi" is often used in daily life.
