Hi, I have two questions:
1) How to say ‘owe’ and ‘pretend’ ? for example, ‘u still owe me money’ and ‘dont pretend you dont know’

2)for the word bi3, do i have to put geng4 at the back? like for instant, wo3 bi3 ni3 shuai4 or wo3 bi3 ni3 geng4 shuai4?? (I am more handsome than you)

ni hao, Henry.

owe = qian4, for example
ni3 hao3 qian4 wo3 hen3 duo1 qian2 = You still owe me lots of money

Pretend = jia3 zhuang1, for example

bu2 yao4 jia3 zhuang1 ni3 bu4 zhi1 dao4 = don’t pretend you don’t know

And the other question, you’re correct. this “geng4” could be omitted :)
