Chinese Phrase - He, she, it

Notice how the 3 different words in English translate into the very same sound (not character) in Chinese. Meaning that in written form there is a difference between the three, but in speech they're all the same.

Being aware of this also helps westerners understand why many Chinese natives mix up "he" and "she", suddenly saying stuff like "her wife, he is" and "his husband, she is".
