Hi u guys~how r u all doing??I hope everybody is doing great..hmm..As u all had learn something bout japanese language the other day by our sensei,faez~;P i've decided to be the "laoshi" for u guys this time by teaching u all the basic of mandarin language~hope u guys can learn something~^^
chinese words doesnt really have any pronounciation,not until it is turn to hanyu pinyin,which is the romanized words which makes the chinese words can be spoken..
eg: 你 doesnt have pronounciation, but when u have the pinyin,u can read it as ni~the meaning of this word is you..
* take note that in pinyin,there's a four tones in most of huayu,each tones for a word have a different meaning..there's a symbols of the tones in hanyu pinyin,which are
1st tone: mā, 2nd tone: má , 3rd tone: mǎ , 4rd tone: mà
as i said,the words might look the same,but for every intonation of these words,it has a different meaning.. for mā it means mother/mama,má means a cloth,textile fibres, mǎ means horse,mà means scold...
ok,i admit,being the non-chinese people,huayu is indeed feels difficult to learn..but it's also interesting when u know more n more words n u can started to hv a conversation with ur chinese friends~^^
now lets learn how to pronounce the words well...it's actually a little bit complicated as there's a word that u have to pronounce with air coming out of ur mouth la,there's a word that must have a nasal sounds la(sengau),n some others~
nvm,only the chinese people who live in mainland china speak with pure mandarin slang with the intonation,it's like singaporean speaks malay,so baku rite?hehe;P no offence k..
