Court life as described by Sei Shonagon reflects Buddhist and Confucian influences in its emphasis on decorum, hierarchy, and ritual. However, Sei Shonagon's writing also challenges these traditions by highlighting the complexities of human emotions, personal desires, and the transient nature of life, which may not always align with the strict moral codes of Confucianism or the detachment advocated by Buddhism. She also presents a more individualistic and subjective perspective on court life, which departs from the collectivist values of Confucianism.

Somewhere between the tightness of 'seh' and the looseness of 'say' is how you pronounce 'sei' in Italian. The adjective 'bello' is pronounced 'BEHL-loh'. The phrase means 'You're handsome'.
Say is written in in IPA as [se:] or [sei].
"Seh" is the way to pronounce "sei."Specifically, the Italian word is the second person informal singular of the infinitive "essere" in the present indicative. It means "(you) are." This is the form of "you" that is used with someone from the speaker's close circle of family, friends and peers.
"Sei tutto per me" is pronounced as "say too-toh pehr meh." In this Italian phrase, "sei" sounds like "say," "tutto" is pronounced "too-toh," "per" sounds like "pehr," and "me" is pronounced "meh." The emphasis is generally placed on the first syllable of each word.
