Can you pronounce these two words?
The first one is man. The second one is main.
/i/ /ei/ /mein/
I once heard someone say “My man problem is …” and I was like “I don’t want to know your “man” problem. And don’t expect me to tell you my woman problem…
Then I realized that he meant “my main problem is…”
