mǎi买/mài卖
mǎi buy vs mài sell
😵 / opposite meanings, one tone apart
情景Scenario
在店里你想说“我想买这个”，声调说成四声，就变成？
You mean “I want to buy this,” but say 4th tone. Now it's?
选择Choose
A我想卖这个（sell）I want to sell this
B我想买这个（没说错）buy — correct
C我想埋这个（bury）I want to bury this
答案Answer
买 mǎi（三声）和 卖 mài（四声）只差一个声调，意思却完全相反。买东西前先练好。
买 (3rd, buy) and 卖 (4th, sell) differ by one tone but mean the opposite.
例句Example
