Hello, i need help in pronunciation and tones

[still radish]

Today at school I pronounced 行礼 as "xíng lǐ", but my teacher (not native, level intermediate) corrected me and told me my tone is wrong, the right one is "xìng lǐ". This has created some confusion since my tuition teacher (advanced in mandarin) taught me "xíng lǐ". And I also used a translation app and it shows me the same tone my tuition teacher has taught me.

So who should I trust? what is the right tone for 行礼?

[finite rover]

I say xíng lǐ, "行" in second tone

[nova quest]

can you upload your voice about the words?

[still radish]

I'm sorry but I'm not that comfortable to share my voice 😬

its the 起立，行礼

for greeting a teacher when they enter the classroom

[nova quest]

maybe you thought you pronounced 行礼 as "xíng lǐ",but in fact you pronounced 行礼 as "xìng lǐ"

[still radish]

oh really? why does it written as the second tone?

[nova quest]

so we have to check through your voice

short voice is enough

[still radish]

ah i see, then should i just record it with how i said it?

[nova quest]

yeah,just a short voice about 行礼

[still radish]

here it is

[nova quest]

very standard

[still radish]

is it in the right tone?

[nova quest]

yours are correct

[still radish]

hmm i see, then should i just stick with that tone?

[nova quest]

of course

stick with the correct tone

[still radish]

i see, i was genuinely confused with my school teacher's correction xD

thank you!

[nova quest]

You can discuss this with your Chinese teacher in private and give her correction

might be a regional thing or certain words? (don't think 行礼 is one of them though)
