可乐
You might have noticed the example sentence used throughout the last post:
zuótiān wǒ bāng nǚ’ér qù yī jiā chāoshì mǎi kělè, xīfàn, dòupí.
If you were wondering how I came up with it, the answer is that I didn’t. I found it on the very useful site: pinyin.info. It was the result of an effort to come up with a pinyin equivalent to “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog,” i.e. a sentence using all the letters of the writing system.
Incidentally, the hanzi for this would be:
昨天我帮女儿去一家超市买可乐、稀饭、豆皮。
