- As a native, I can be certain that both pronunciations are correct.=] In classrooms, students are taught with 'neih5'. This pronunciation is generally considered as 'proper' by the field of education. However, 'leih5' is as well a correct pronunciation despite many think it is a result of sloppiness or laziness (懶音). In fact, the choice of 'neih5' is completely arbitrary. For more details, please read pg.4 of Cantonese A Comprehensive Grammar by Stephen Matthews and Virginia Yip. For the sake of learning, I recommend you to speak 'neih5' instead of 'leih5' because speaking the former will give locals an impression that you're taking the language seriously. But no matter what, Cantonese is not a highly structured and well documented language as English, so be prepared for confusions and enjoy its dynamics.0 votedJanuary 18, 20163

You might want to use PAST TENSE to write the whole writing, because the story was told in PAST TENSE.
