Usage notes
English speakers may mishear the pronunciations nèige or nège as the offensive term "nigger". On the Internet, there are also memes related to this phenomenon, e.g. the song Sunshine, Rainbow and White Pony by Wowkie Zhang is often mocked by Western netizens because of the frequent appearance of the word 那個 / 那个 (nèige) in the lyrics.
See also
- 哪個／哪个 (nǎge, něige, “which”)
Pronunciation 2
Usage notes
Archaic. Use 哪個／哪个 (nǎge) to avoid confusion with 那個／那个 (nàge, “that; that one”).
