Learning mandarin(刚刚学习普通话)

Hi, forgive me typing in English, but perhaps you can help.

 

I have just started to teach myself mandarin using internet resources and have run into a problem. I have downloaded a pin yin keyboard provided by google for android, but I cannot work out how to add tone accents to the vowels. For example to distinguish shi(1) (= to give) and shi(2) (= food) and shi(4) (= to be).

 

Am I supposed to add the number to the end of the word, or is there a way to add accents to the top of the vowel?

 

Thanks

Hi,I will translate your thread into chinese,hope to get some help,good luck.

 

 

Hi,请原谅我用英语打字,也许你可以帮助我。我刚开始利用互联网资源自学汉语普通话,下载了一个拼音键盘,是谷歌专门为安卓提供的软件。

但我弄不明白如何添加元音字母的音调口音,比如:如何区分:一声的“施”,二声的“食”和四声的“是”。

我猜想应该在汉字的末尾添加号码,或者有一种在顶端元音来添加口音的方法,请您帮助我好吗?

多谢。

long age ,my freind abroad typed me only by english typing ,for he had no chinese typing software. so he only typed pinyin,letters. as mother language,i can understand what he had said.

 

when some confusing words occurred,that means 2+ chinese letters, and may have other meanings,he had to add tone,as your question mentioned,but he solved,only to add number 1,2,3,4!

 

that is a good idea!by the way ,if the letter has 'er' sound at it's end,you can add 'r' then,eg:birds,niao er,only to write as niaor3,you can recognize at all.

 

sorry for my poor english
