Hh Min Min
她 有 双 重 国 籍. In this sentence I hear the pinyin
of 重 as “zhoon” (sounds like 从)
In this “他 现 在 的 体 重 是 过 去 的 双 倍”, I hear the
pinyin of 重 as “chung”
Has 重 got two sounds in pinyin as the two above?
Hi Βωων Κυαν,
重 has 2 pronunciations.
One is zhòng, which means weight or heavy.
Another is chóng, which means repeat or overlap.
In this sentence, it should be pronounced as chóng. I have corrected the mistake.
Thanks.
