TonesThe Chinese putonghua has basic tones. They are

shown by the tone-mark: (the 1st tone), (the 2nd

tone), (the 3rdtone), (the 4thtone). Different

tones may express different meanings, e.g.

b b b b m m m m

Tone -MarksTone-marks should be placed on the

main vowels. If there two or more than two

vomwels in a sylable, the tone-mark is placedon the one which requires a bigger ( or the

biggest ) opening of the mouth, e.g. ho, mi,

lu. When the vowel I carries a tone-indicator,

the dot on i is removed, e.g. n, b
