Guest123 Posted March 6, 2015 at 04:44 PM Report Posted March 6, 2015 at 04:44 PM The character 混 has these two pronounciations : hùn(4) and hún(2), and meanings given in dictionary are quite similar. Can't figure the difference between them. In which cases one must use hùn(4) and in which - hún(2)? Quote
tooironic Posted March 7, 2015 at 12:24 AM Report Posted March 7, 2015 at 12:24 AM Almost always hùn. The only example I can think of it being pronunced as hún is in 混蛋, which can be hùndàn or húndàn depending on the speaker. (It can also be written as 浑蛋.) Quote

ceciliamiao Posted March 31, 2015 at 03:25 AM Report Posted March 31, 2015 at 03:25 AM I feel like hún is more like an adjective and hùn is the verb. Quote
