Pinyin Trivia
What is Pinyin?
Pinyin is a system for romanizing Chinese characters, representing their pronunciation using the Latin alphabet. It combines initials (consonants), finals (vowels), and tones to form syllables.
About Tones
Mandarin Chinese has four main tones (plus a neutral tone), which can change the meaning of a syllable even if the initial and final are the same. Pinyin uses diacritics (e.g., ā, á, ǎ, à) or numbers (e.g., a1, a2, a3, a4) to indicate tones.
