Mandarin Chinese Language
Mandarin Chinese Language
How can there be two characters or more in the mandarin Chinese language that share the same sound and tone?
Mu4 > ????
Ni3 > ????
how can you use these if they are all in the same tone and sound ? Does it mean that you have to just use them in the right context? Can anyone give some examples of things like this in English to help me understand better? Any links that can help with this will also be greatly appreciated
thanks ^_^
Chinese characters are pictograph that written in or belonging to a writing system using pictorial symbols. Such as “?(mù)” and “?”, though their Chinese pinyin are the same, they means different things. “?” which refers to “eye” is just written as an eye, while “?” which means “tree” symbolizes picture of a tree. From this example we can see although two Chinese characters may be pronounced the same, but their meaning are completely different. This phenomenon not only happens in Chinese characters, but also in English words. I list some homophones below to help your understanding:
high/hi
his/he’s
hole/whole
know/no
knew/new
knight/night
lessen/lesson
nose/knows
If you are interested, you can visit http://www.echineselearning.com/resources/chinese-materials/chinese-characters.htmlto learn more about Chinese characters.
If you still have any question related to Chinese characters, you can ask me at jennifer.zhu@echineselearning.com (www.eChineseLearning.com) or ask here. I will be glad to help you.-Jennifer
Tibetan students protest Chinese language plans
Chinese officials tried to defuse discontent following student protests in ethnically Tibetan areas, saying a plan to teach classes only in Mandarin Chinese was not aimed at wiping out Tibet's native tongue.

Resources For Learning The Chinese Language!
The Chinese language is certainly one of the most beautiful languages to learn. It may be a little difficult to learn at first, but once you start to get the hang of it, you will really start to fall in love with the language. Learning Chinese can be difficult, but there are a lot of online resources as well as tutors, book, audio translation CD’s and many other way to learn the magnificent language!
So what are the resources available today for you to begin your Chinese Learning Adventure?
1) Chinese Forums= This is a great place to meet other Chinese speaking people, who may just be able to give you a helping hand with the language and maybe you could have a Chinese conversation with the people of the forum to sort of test your skills.
2) Chinese Online Tutors= These tutors your can hire for a really cheap price and they will just about help you until you have mastered the language.
3)English to Chinese translation sites= want to know a certain term or see if the words your typing what you actually though? Then translation sites are a huge plus!
4) Audio, Book, DVD’s= These can add up in costs, but if you get enough of these resources you are certainly on your way to mastering the difficult, yet beautiful Mandarin Chinese language. I really feel that audio translations can be extremely helpful, and a good book to teach you the basics is extremely vital in learning the language.
5) School= I consider school as the last resource because it costs the most money, and today with a hurting economy, the less money you can spend, the better off you are, but a good teacher is always one of the best resources, even though they are the most expensive to take.
Do you want to learn Chinese? It is a lot of fun when learning another language to meet other people who have mastered the language and to practice with them, to practice other languages and to meet new friends today, visit http://www.ChineseGreat.com and you can begin learning another language right away!
