It's normal. It's like bigcat says, when you start thinking about it it gets harder. I have this with passwords. I had a password that had a fat-finger typo in it for 6 months because It just sits in muscle memory. So once I have learned passwords, I can't remember the password anymore, and trying to think while typing makes me lose it.

And that a contract is a piece of paper. But also contraction is when you shorten words in English. And that to constrict is similar to contract but not the same contract as the contract previously used in the construction of this sentence.

Yeah, it's crazy that you can make sentences with just homophones in Chinese. This stuff is obviously not proper grammar (Chinese barely has any grammar though) but it shows that the Chinese language has too few unique sounds. Compound words are a necessity at this point.

Not one word, its made of a bunch of different characters but they are all either shí shī shǐ or shì. I mean it is completely ridiculous reading & sounding especially since you usually rely on context to figure out meaning cause of how many homophones there are, and as the other commentor said chinese is a head-final language so theres very few rules for sentence structure you just place subject first followed by modifiers

Henya is so valid. To make things worse, in English, "contraction" can also mean when you combine two short words to make another short word that has the same meaning as the two words next to each other. Like "do not" can be contracted into "don't". That's also a contraction. English is amazing(ly confusing).

Glad someone mentioned the monogatari one. Also chinese tongue twisters are a whole different level of pain. like xī shī sǐ shí sì shí sì, whereas in Japanese it would be more like (ni)shi shi shi ji shi shi shi. 西施死时四十四 (时 is the only hanzi that isnt a kanji but deepl and google translate say its basically 時, both characters denote a frame of time, so i'm pretty sure it's close enough) Also as in this sentence 西 is someones name you wouldnt really directly translate, from xī to nishi (or sei or sha) however xi is changed to sh, as japanese doesnt have the "xi" sound ( 小 for example)

listening to her complain about all of English being yabai: all it takes is the right inflection and any word can be suggestive. As a bonus, any verb can be a noun and vice versa in the right context with no changes to the word itself, something other languages do rarely if at all. Example: saying "I can't brain today" after pulling a dumb (and that too, dumb is an adjective used as a noun) is normal and any native English speaker would have no trouble understanding. Other languages either don't allow this, as their verbs have specific endings or beginnings that mark them as verbs, so trying to use a noun as a verb doesn't flow and it'll trip up conversation partners

If it makes Henya feel any better, there are plenty of people living in America who can't pronounce word correctly. It's a big country, and there are accents that differ all over it. Add to that the learning differences people get due to what the school decides is important. often due to finances. Or political nonsense going on where they live. Add on top of that how screwed up english is as a language. It's a wonder anything gets done here. I feel that Henya is frustrated because she really wants to get it right, but there's too much nuance that is really hard to grasp as someone trying to learn outside of a english speaking country. I hope she doesn't let it get to her too much, as others have said the progress she's made is honestly impressive.
