Hello,
I have a question about the Pinyin notation for some verbs, in Pleco.
Sometimes, the Pinyin will be written with a double forward slash ( // ) between the characters, for example "to retire from military service", 退役. The Pinyin is given as tuì//yì.
Not all two-character verbs have this double slash, so what does this mean? Is it that the 役 is considered a noun, so for example you might say 他退了役, rather than 他退役了?
Thanks for any advice!
