One note - there's no hard r in 那个 unless you're speaking a Beijing dialect. In that case there's hard r's (儿) after basically every word.

Edit: TIL there's a Wikipedia article dedicated to the "r after every word" in Beijing dialect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erhua




Black Americans don't pronounce the R either. Donald Glover has a funny bit about learning how to say it right due to his strict upbringing.


那个 doesn't have a hard r in the Beijing dialect either.

Source: lived in Beijing for 5 years & wife is from Beijing.


can second this. I am a Chinese who lived in Beijing for 10 years. No one would pronounce a hard r after 那个
