qǐng请/qīn亲
qǐng treat vs qīn kiss

情景Scenario
你想说“我请你（吃饭）”，声调说成一声，就变成？
You mean “I'll treat you,” but say 1st tone. Now?
选择Choose
A我亲你（kiss you）I'll kiss you
B我请你（没说错）I'll treat you — correct
C我轻你I “lighten” you
答案Answer
请 qǐng（三声）vs 亲 qīn（一声）。“我请你吃饭”说成一声，就成了“我亲你”，对方一脸震惊。
请 (3rd, treat) vs 亲 (1st, kiss). “Let me treat you” in 1st tone becomes “let me kiss you.”
