I like the way you wrote the syllabication makes it easy to read and imagine the sound.

It's true - better to pretend you're dumb sometimes, saved a lot of Jew doing that in WWII.
so the cat at the gif .. playing "close open".?.. so cute !
I thought some people may have learnt how to read Pinyin so would be helpful. Either way it's easier to identify for non Chinese speakers.
I think in WWII the agenda was just ethnic cleansing resulting in mass genocide. Not sure how much pretending dumb as opposed to pretending you're not a jew would help.
Cat's explain everything!
@sweetsssj yes it's easy to read it indeed
as for the Jews who did that, there were times when some Jews were asked what they do for a living and pretended they were not highly educated and are doing more of a blue - collar job and they we're spared compared to those who showed they know it all.
Such incident was shown in some of the scenes in Schindler's list.
