TONES 1. Definition • Chinese is tone language. By tone language I mean the language in which every word has its specific tone or tones. 2. Importance • Tones can distinguish meanings. Different tones have different meanings. For example, the four pinyin have the same initial and final. They are different only in tones.
Tones 1st tone 2nd tone 3rd tone 4th tone In a syllable, the tone falls on the vowels: a, o, e, I, u, Ü; e.g. ā á ă à
Where to place tone marks? • Generally, put it on the major vowel of the "final". Then what's the major vowels? It's that one that appears ahead according to the order "a o e i u ü". e.g. in “hao”, “a” comes before “o”, so we have “hǎo” • Some words have unstressed syllables which one toneless and therefore they are not given tone marks. Eg. Xièxie
