Study Notes

Tones And Pronunciation

  • Chinese language has a complex tone system, with 4 main tones and a neutral tone:
    • 1st tone (ā): flat tone, no mark
    • 2nd tone (á): rising tone, acute accent (´)
    • 3rd tone (ǎ): falling and then rising tone, caron (ˇ)
    • 4th tone (à): sharply falling tone, grave accent (`)
    • Neutral tone (no mark): no specific tone, used for particles and grammatical elements
  • Mastering tones is crucial for accurate pronunciation and understanding in Chinese
  • Tones can change the meaning of words:
    • Example: "ma" can mean "mother", "horse", "hemp", or "scold" depending on the tone used

Basic Strokes For Characters

  • Chinese characters are composed of strokes, with a specific order and direction:
    1. Horizontal strokes (left to right)
    2. Vertical strokes (top to bottom)
    3. Downward strokes (top-left to bottom-right)
    4. Upward strokes (bottom-right to top-left)
  • Basic strokes include:
    • Horizontal stroke (一)
    • Vertical stroke (丨)
    • Downward stroke (丶)
    • Upward stroke (丿)
