Chinese Pinyin example sentence with 老板 ( laoban / lăobăn ) Writing in Pinyin
Before using this Pinyin example sentence, consider that Chinese characters should always be your first choice in written communication.
If you cannot use Chinese characters, it is preferable to use the Pinyin with tones. Only use the Pinyin without tones if there's no other option (e.g. writing a text message from/to a mobile phone that doesn't support special characters such as ā, í, ŏ, ù).

Meiyou laoban de tixie, ni dao xianzai haishi yi tuo shi.
Méiyŏu lăobăn de tíxié, nĭ dào xiànzài háishì yī tuó shĭ.
 – English translation: Without the boss' help, you would still be a piece of shit.
