@QuizmasterLaw Год назад

轻声 is brief and toneless. your tone on is not so important as it is pronounced briefly and with less volume, almost like a brief after thought. this change in volume is why it is called the light tone, and also because a 轻声 syllable is very brief.

@QuizmasterLaw Год назад

here's what our new robot overlord told me when i asked it 如何说好轻声的声调 the bot said: 轻声在汉语拼音中表示为 "0"，它不是一个声调，而是一个音节的属性。它通常出现在多音字中，表示这个音节是轻声音节，即轻轻地发音或者不发音。例如，"妈妈"中的第二个字“妈”就是一个多音字，它的拼音是 "māma"。

@QuizmasterLaw Год назад

heres what the bot overlord said when asked in English "tell me about the light tone, also known as the 5th tone or neutral tone in Chinese" killbotwanaspeak said in response: In Mandarin Chinese, the light tone, also known as the 5th tone or neutral tone, is a tone that is not characterized by any particular pitch contour or contour change. It is represented by the number "0" in Pinyin, and it is used to indicate that the syllable should be pronounced with a light or unstressed emphasis. The light tone is unique among the four main tones of Mandarin Chinese because it does not have a fixed pitch contour or contour change. Instead, it is pronounced with a light and short sound, almost as if the syllable is being whispered or mumbled. The light tone is used in Mandarin Chinese to indicate that the syllable is unstressed, and it is often used in function words, such as particles, conjunctions, and prepositions. For example, in the phrase "你好吗?" (nǐ hǎo ma?), the "ma" at the end is pronounced with a light tone because it is a question particle. While the light tone may be challenging for learners of Mandarin Chinese to master at first, it is an important aspect of the language and is essential for clear and accurate communication. With practice, learners can improve their ability to recognize and produce the light tone correctly.

C'mon dude be realistic a newscaster. That's the problem with Chinese people you lie to save face and I think you should be more direct at the cost of being too polite. His mandarin is better than average for a foreigner and his pronunciation is also above average however I can still tell his a foreigner. However yes he has more of a standard accent than those Chinese that speak with their local dialects heavily influencing their speech. But as good as a tv newscaster or cctv tv host C'mon be realistic even the famous Dashan is not that good. I think you have to be born speaking the language to be that good or if you were incredibly gifted at languages and can mimmick just as some Chinese can do with English when they copy an American accent

Dude! I have watched countless tutorials by native Mandarin speakers, some of them very good indeed, but not one of those instructors has articulated pronunciation as clearly and definitively as you do. I have only recently begun my Mandarin journey and have already been plagued by doubts because much of what I have heard just doesn't seem to "flow" in the way that a language should. And pronunciations vary widely from teacher to teacher. You have single-handedly changed my perspective and inspired me to believe that I can actually learn this language. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to studying all of your videos.

Just goes to show that even if one is as a native aren’t necessarily equipped or qualified to teach the language. That’s the biggest issue with mandarin in general.

The explanations from mandarin teachers are often awful due to their ignorance and poor English abilities.

@ChenZheChina Год назад

I am a native speaker from Beijing. I can confirm that your pronunciation is better than many Chinese speakers whose accents are heavily affected by their native tongue. But, there is a small mistake in the video: the pronunciation of 一千 should be yì qiān. Pronunciations in cardinal numbers are usually changed: 一(yì)百, 一(yì)千, 一(yí)万, 一(yí)个, 一(yí)切, 一(yì)心一(yí)意, 一(yì)朝一(yì)夕, 一(yì)神论, with a few exceptions such as 一(yī)十 in 二百一(yī)十, 三百一(yī)十, etc. and 成语一(yī)五一(yī)十. Also, 一 at the end of a longer cardinal number does not change, either: 十一(yī)个, 二十一(yī)个, etc. On the other hand, ordinal numbers never change: 一(yī)班, 一(yī)号, 一(yī)级, 一(yī)流, 一(yī)等奖.

@MandarinBlueprint Год назад

对的！我很喜欢这种建设性的批评，尤其是因为这个“一”读音的微妙区别很容易搞错🙏

@kori228 Год назад

Browsing wiktionary, this makes sense as it seems the expected form for 一 should be yi4, not yi1. The change to yi4 to yi2 is when it's followed by another Tone 4. The yi1 reading is for ordinal numbers.

@wendshawn9435 Год назад

That just depends on the accents though. Many people in southern China would say Yi1 Qian1

@ChenZheChina Год назад

@@wendshawn9435 Indeed, in Mandarin area, there are accent variants. For example, in some places, 一 at the end of longer cardinal number also changes, making 二十一(yí)个, which is different than Standard Mandarin. But in southern China, things are different. Mandarin is probably not the native language of local people in southern China, so they have to learn Standard Mandarin like the OP does, and they might make similar mistakes.

@wangyuning285 Год назад

@@VChou-ij6gd 说实话这个不太实用，在很多情况下“一”是词语中开头那个，比如楼主举的例子中大多都是这样的。我觉得楼主的说法更贴近，主要还是跟用法，意思，和日常应用有关。（没有喷的意思，个人看法罢了）

52:32 actually there is an [yan] sound in Chinese! 发“üan”时，如果把韵母的发音速度放慢，你会发现在介音［y］结束后舌头会先往后缩，发出一个短暂的［u］，然后口腔才打开，开始韵腹的发音，韵腹的开口度其实跟［a］差不多。大部分老北京把”üan”读成[yan]或者[yuæn]，但因为越来越多的外地人涌入北京，你很少能听到“üan”的正确读音了，甚至现在也有些年轻的北京人把“üan”的发音简化成［yɛn］。

I still couldn’t believe what I am hearing and seeing in this video, you are extraordinary. Wow!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Cool trick : to pronounce the third tone just pronounce the final twice like in the example he used "ma" just pronounce the "a" twice -> ma a

The moment when you just mastered standard Mandarin pronunciation but realized people are speaking in dialects:

@MandarinBlueprint Год назад

Still, easier to learn Mandarin that everyone knows than just the local dialect that only a small pocket of people speak.

This video is absolutely amazing. I've only had a chance to watch about 20 minutes of this video and I can already here a significant improvement! I'm planning to go back to China for a few months and wish to learn how to speak Mandarin with better pronunciation and add to my very limited vocabulary. I'll definitely be watching this video at least a couple more times!

His explanations and descriptions of the sounds are the most helpful I've heard! When I taught English in Taiwan, pronunciation always improved when equated with familiar sounds from Mandarin & Taiwanese vocabulary words. I subscribed after the first 5 minutes.

One little thing, the /s/ in Standard Mandarin is actually different than the /s/ in most English varieties. It's "dentalized" with the tongue tip resting behind the bottom front teeth whereas most English /s/ tend to have the tongue against the ridge behind the upper front teeth.

@MandarinBlueprint Год назад

True! We cover that in our 8-hour Pronunciation Mastery course, but we decided it was a bit too detailed for an hour RU-vid tutorial.

I've been watching a bunch of videos on Chinese intonation, I'm in my baby steps of learning the language. And you've answered a question I had about using the natural tone/pitch of your voice. And now, I'm onto this question/rhetorical question because I think I know the answer, just want to confirm. Q: In different situations, I'm thinking angry vs happy; the baseline tone and how far up/down it goes can sometimes change drastically within a few different sentences/phrases to enunciate said emotions?

Thank you for the nice explanations! about “ü”: Chinese ü is like a mouth of ‘u’ and pronouncing ‘i’, different to German ü which is like a mouth of ‘u’ but pronouncing ‘e’ (the ‘e’ of ‘ten’).

This was the most useful lesson I have had . Thank you . Before when others tried to teach me this lesson I never realized what an initial and final sound was…. it never occurred to me it’s the first and last sound was for pronouncing a Chinese character . The way you broke it down with the examples could not have been more clear . You nailed it . And you helped me get the confidence I needed to learn Chinese. There are lot’s competitors that try to approach this massive undertaking with just saying the words with no explanation. The only one that came close was sing and learn Chinese . But I can not sing …lol

@kevinwang5463 Год назад

As a native speaker, I'd say it's of quality. There's one thing, though. You raise your soft palate articulating the a vowel following the m consonant in the tone introduction part of your video. As a Mandarin native speaker, I'm assertive that we never raise our soft palate pronouncing the a vowel, which is fundamentally different from English. By doing so, the sounds become more natural and less mechanical when you add tones to it. Relaxation of soft palate is the part which English native speakers often neglect when speaking Mandarin, but it plays a huge role to sound more native. Likewise, native Mandarin speakers have to learn how to raise their soft palate when pronouncing the vowels of English.

@MandarinBlueprint Год назад

Fascinating! I’d never heard it expressed that way before
