Mammoth Memory

bad – why

Written as huài or huai

To remember that bad is pronounced why (huai) in Mandarin Chinese, use the following mnemonic:

I'm really bad at pouring wine (why). 

I'm really bad at pouring wine (why)

Note: To clearly distinguish that are dealing with the word "bad" we have enhanced the picture above by connecting the word "bad" to a "bad guy" pouring the wine.
