How is mandarin Chinese language spoken?

Answer 1

That is a big question to ask, but one basic thing is that instead of like say English language, in Chinese people speak using tones. There are four tones in Mandarin Chinese one is a flat tone (imagine a car driving on a flat road) another one is a rising tone where you start down low and then raise your voice as you pronunce the word.(Imagine a car driving up a mountain)

The third is the falling and then rising tone where you start at a point dip down and then come back up again (imagine a car driving down then up a valley)

Finally you have the falling tone (imagine a car driving quickly down a slope) Each word has a different tone, and some times no tone. If you change the tone then you can change the meaning of what you are saying!

I hope this helps?

Mandarin Chinese is spoken using tones, which are pitch variations that change the meaning of a word. It is a tonal language with four main tones and one neutral tone. Additionally, Mandarin Chinese uses characters as its writing system, where each character represents a word or a syllable.
