Hi team, I have a question about 不太。 In the vocabulary and flashcard section, I have 不太 saved and the voice pronounces it with two 4th tones! It is translated as 'not too much.' Is this a different word that should remain with 4th tone or is this a mistake?

How often does mandarin have different words represented by different characters but with the same tone? For example 每 and 美? This would be like brake and break in English, I don't remember what this is called...
