Are 求 (beg) and 球 (ball) both written in pinyin as Qiú homonyms? I am trying to get the pronunciation for ball right. Are there authoritative homonym lists maintained somewhere?

  • Yes, they are. Any Chinese dictionary with Pinyin as index would be a good place to find homonym characters.

  • A fun fact: because they share the same pronunciation, chinese teenagers now type "ball ball 您" instead of "求求您" to express "i am begging you" when chatting online .
