Description

The "-ei" sound in Pinyin sounds just like the "ei" in the English word "eight".

beach house

Explanation

The "ay" in the English word "bay" sounds quite similar to this final. Every beautiful bay has at least a couple of beach houses on it, so we chose a [-(e)i] beach house to represent this final. To remember, try saying "ei ei ei ei bay" multiple times. Trust me, it works!
  1. The front of the [-(e)i] beach house is a beautiful beach that is on the bay, complete with sand to lie out on.
  2. The inside of the [-(e)i] beach house is usually sandy, but has some wicker chairs to lounge on.
  3. The basement has a sand bottom and is full with old beach supplies.
  4. The bathroom is just like a normal bathroom, but with nautical or beach decorations and often full of bits of sand.
