My brain works like that. Except I probably would have called the guy “X-eee” (rhymes with “sexy.”)

It's pronounced
Ha- VAH- ii, "but the guy to ask is Mr. Wiener. He is insists it's pronounced "WHY-ner." However, he is a wiener.
Also for FYI, most Indians who work in KSA speak an English Dialect called "Slow Googly." Among my duties there was translating this, usually welly welly wrong, for Texans and Oklahomans.
And never play squash with Pakistanis.

He is a She?Xi is pronounced SHEE....pronunciation, not gender.
Actually the Chinese don't use personal pronouns.
From Wikipedia: Chinese pronouns (Chinese: 代词; pinyin: dàicí) differ somewhat from pronouns in English and other Indo-European languages.
For instance, there is no differentiation in the spoken language between "he", "she" and "it" (though a written difference was introduced after contact with the West), and pronouns are not inflected to indicate whether they are the subject or object of a sentence.
Mandarin Chinese further lacks a distinction between the possessive adjective ("my") and possessive pronoun ("mine"); both are formed by appending the particle 的 de.
So WHO knows how they differentiate the genders. It's all Greek to me.
