Correct parts of speech

I notice that sometimes the site will list a verb as a noun and vice versa. I try not to rely on it too much, but when I am struggling with a particular character I like to use it as a clue. When it says "verb" I type in one I believe it to be only to find it was a noun. Adds a little frustration. Will the curators be working on this to put in the right correct part of speech for each character? Xie4 xie5!!!!

    If you spot any words that have the wrong part of speech, please do leave a comment on the words and we will edit it ASAP. Lots of Chinese words can be different parts of speech according to context, so the categorisation is a bit fuzzier than it is in many other languages. But we will definitely try to get all the correct options in there.

    Best wishes
