Incorrect Pinyin
I have noticed a pattern of incorrect pinyin. Probably because of bad parsing.
In this case 离 has the much more rare chī when it should be lí

I will try to keep an eye out for more of these errors, but I do not have many tones memorized.

Characters with an umlaut do not display pinyin tone markers.

Is there a way to make the parser prioritize the pinyin for the most common meaning? It seems to do the opposite.

I will probably disable Pinyin for now since it is likely to have a negative impact on my learning.

Oh shit. There is no way to disable pinyin. I guess I’ll have to try my best not to look at it.

I do not understand why it defaults to the least common form this often.

You'll be able to disable it in the web version of MM now 🙂 I just pushed out an update yesterday, you can configure it in your settings
It might take a little longer for the iOS app to update though (there's a few things going on in the background)

Sweet. Thanks Nick.

Regarding the parser, there's a lot we can do to improve it - that's a common thread across all our languages
I'll make sure to link your feedback internally so it doesn't get lost 👍

@Migaku iOS Support will this be in this weeks iOS patch?

Yes @Nooby, just confirmed it, this fix is available for the EA users with the latest
v1.0.6 iOS app update in the TestFlight.stormy-gold•2y ago
@Nooby i think it just chooses the first instance of the pinyin found in the parser dictionary, iirc
quickest-silverOP•2y ago
So it would just be a matter of reordering based on frequency?
stormy-gold•2y ago
that or what i do which was just delete rare or erroneous pinyin

It should parse for words and then add the pinyin after. I think it’s adding the pinyin first. So you get the pinyin for the single characters.
It’s not doing “longest word” for pinyin. It’s doing it per character. Is my theory.
