Talk:xié-

Certainly not a suffix
There is no way that this word can be considered an "affix." It is simply a noun. An affix is a very specific term, referring to a word that is joined to another word to modify the original word's meaning. Please do not create hyphenated pinyin entries for "affixes" when they are not affixes. Affixes are very specific things, such as -ize or -osis or -ish (or Mandarin -zhǔyì), not shoe- or -shoes-. There is no such thing as shoe- or shoes-. 71.66.97.228 05:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Mandarin is different from English. Usually we don't speak "xié" as a word in Mandarin, please see here]. Ddpy 06:19, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
