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
