Chinese Pinyin - Change of Tone
Change of tone
The tone of a word sometimes changes when used in a sentence depending on the tone of the word that preceds or comes after it.
If a 3rd tone is followed by a 3rd tone, the first 3rd tone becomes second tone.
Example:
The word for "hello" in Mandarin is: nǐhǎo which literally means "You good."
When these two words are pronounced seperately, they are both pronounced using the third tone. When they are used together to form the word "hello" ni takes the second tone and hao remains in third tone.
Note that the word nǐhǎo is still written with two third tones, but it is said with the the nǐ in second tone.
If a 3rd tone is followed by any tone other than the 3rd tone (covered by rule 1) the 3rd tone changes to a "half 3rd tone." A "half 3rd tone" is one that falls, but does not rise.
Example: ni mamma
The word "bu" is 4th tone, but when it is followed by another 4th tone, it becomes 2nd tone.
Example : bu yao 不 要 (don't want means NO)
Rules concerning the word "yi."
The word "yi" is 1st tone when used as part of a number
(yi, er, san, ... shiyi). 一 二 三...
The word "yi" is 4th tone when preceeding 1st, 2nd, or 3rd tones.
(yi ge ren) one person 一個人
The word "yi" is 2nd tone when proceeding a 4th tone.
(den yi xia 3 2 4 ) 等一下 wait a moment

A Chinese character has only one syllable, which consists of two parts: an initial (consonant) and a final (vowel). The consonants always appear initially in a syllable. There are 21 initials for the standard Chinese pronunciation and they fall into six groups as follows:
| b | p | m | f |
| d | t | n | l |
| g | k | h | |
| j | q | x | |
| z | c | s | |
| zh | ch | sh | r |
| Pronunciation Hint: |
| The initials of 'm', 'f', 'n', 'l', 'h', 's', and 'sh' are pronounced the same as their corresponding ones in English. |
| 'b' is analogous to the sound of 'p' in the English word 'spin'. (unaspirated) |
| 'd' is analogous to the sound of 't' in the English word 'straight'.(unaspirated) |
| 'j' is analogous to the sound of 'g' in the English word 'genius'. (unaspirated) |
| 'z' is analogous to the sound of 'ds' in the English word 'beds'. |
| 'zh' is analogous to the sound of 'j' in the English word 'job'. |
| 'g' is analogous to the unaspirated sound 'g' in the English word 'get'. |
| 'x' is analogous to the sound of 'sh' in the English word 'sheep', but with the lip corners tightened up backwards. |
| 'r' is analogous to the sound of 'dge' in the English word 'lodge'. |
| Please pay attention to the six aspirated 'p', 't', 'k', 'q', 'q', 'c', and 'ch' sounds. |
| Attentions must be paid to the differences between unaspirated sounds and aspirated sounds. |

The Introduction of Chinese Pinyin
Overview
The word for “Flower” expressed in pinyin is: huā
Pinyin is a way to represent Chinese characters and express the sounds in the Chinese language using the alphabet.
There are other systems to express Mandarin, but Pinyin is the most accepted and widely used. Once you learn Pinyin you will know how to pronounce any word in Mandarin using a Chinese dictionary. Pinyin is also the most common way to input Chinese characters into a computer. Although Pinyin and English both use the Roman alphabet, many letters are not expressed with the same sounds that English uses.
Initals and Finals
Words expressed in pinyin use a set of 21 sounds representing the beginning of the word called initials, and a set of 37 sounds representing the end of the word called finals. These combine to form about 420 different sounds.

Example:
The word for “Flower” expressed in pinyin is: huā
Words are often combined to form compound words
The word for “China” expressed in pinyin is: zhōngguó
Tones
Words in Mandarin that have the same pronunciation can have different meanings depending on how the word is said. The "tone" of a word describes how the the pitch of the speaker's voice changes as the word is said. There are four "tones" in Mandarin.
The tones are represented in pinyin by marks above the words.
