✓轻声 xi
qīng shēng xi · neutral tone, xi
B一声 xī
yì shēng xī · 1st tone, xī
C不发音
bù fā yīn · silent
D四声 xì
sì shēng xì · 4th tone, xì
东西(xī)是方向，东西(xi)是物品。读错了，你买的就是“东边和西边”。
With neutral tone, 东西 (dōngxi) means “stuff/things”. With full first tone (dōngxī) it means “east and west”. The neutral tone changes the word entirely.
