Talk:Puxi

Similar Pronunciation

I pronounced the word 'Puxi' out loud in Mandarin Chinese, and as a native English speaker, my first thought was: this pronunciation is very similar to the English words pushy & pussy. I don't know how Wiktionary might note that here, but similarity of pronunciation shouldn't be ignored in my opinion. See also Beibei Haimen. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 18:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I entirely agree we could have official Paronyms sections or alternatively a {{paronyms}} template used similarly to {{homophones}} in the Pronunciation section. Paronyms are particularly helpful for non native speakers of a language, I think, and also often funny and could maybe help people making word plays? I actually tend to add some Paronyms sections now and then (but mostly in French). But I wonder if that couldn't actually be automated once the IPA data is present, a bit like the anagrams. - Olybrius (talk) 15:29, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
