office building

Explanation

The word [-o] office also starts with the "o" so we chose it to represent this final. However, the pronunciation of the "o" in [-o] office is not the same as the pronunciation of the "-o" final. The "o" in [-o] office is pronounced similar to an English "a" sound, while the "o" sound in Pinyin is a pure "o" sound that lacks a great equivalent in English.
  1. The front of the [-o] office has a parking lot and the entrance to the main lobby - from there you can see clearly the large many-storied office building.
  2. Inside is a small lobby with some minor decor and some elevators.
  3. The basement has old desks and office storage.
  4. The bathroom is quite large with many stalls and is a peaceful refuge when taking a break from work.
