On the word “xie xie”, even though one “xie” is a different tone then the other, they’re characters are still exactly the same? Could you explain why that is, Benny?
Thank you. You’re a really great teacher.

There are many single words in Chinese don’t make sense, therefore we need to put another words either after or before them to make sense.
