Introduction of Tones

TONESDefinition

• Chinese is tone language. By tone language I mean the language in which every word has its specific tone or tones.

Tones1st 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. Xiè xie

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.

Autumn Air Li Bai

• The autumn air is clear,The autumn moon is bright.Fallen leaves gather and scatter,The jackdaw perches and starts anew.We think of each other- when will we meet?This hour, this night, my feelings are hard.
