Chinese

in #cn6 years ago

This was suggested by @plushzilla

This is a quick introduction on chinese i have a course on discord link --- https://discord.gg/u6tFrAN

So chinese writing system
It evolved through starting from simple drawings to what we know today
So let me talk about the formation of these characters
The sun for example is 日 rì
In the past its was drawn as the sun but slowly turned into 日
Same as 月 yuè
Now if we try and put these 2 words together it will form 明 míng
Which can mean sight/understanding but it can mean tomorrow if you add 天 tiān or day/sky/heaven
Making it 明天 míngtiān which is tomorrow
Thats a bit confusing another example is
田 tián which is a field or rice crops this is a better example because if you look at a field from far away it looks like boxes hence there are 4 boxes its not called 4 boxes by the way and strokes are important in writing but that will be for another day

Now i will show you a part of my course in discord if your intrested join in and dm me 3 steem for regular 5 sbd for premium 10 sbd for high priority
Regular last for 1 week includes reading/basic understanding
While premium for 6 weeks reading/understanding/communication includes voice chat
High priority is a 3 months
Reading/writing/understanding/communication includes voice chat for 1 on 1 communication with me or other people in the course
So heres a preview in
Reading
There are 4 basic tones which are
第一声 which is the first tone and is flat when you pronounce it
第二声 which is 2nd tone which is from bottom to top when you pronounce it
第三声 which is 3rd tone which is from top to bottom to top again
第四声 which is 4th tone which is from top to bottom
I will be teaching that when actual voice and example for you to be able to read and how to know where everything should be placed

Sort:  

Just for fun, letting people know that the 4 tones here refer to speaking in Mandarin Chinese (普通話) only.

Different dialects, such as Cantonese (廣東話), will be different.

Yes i am aware i also speak another dialect known as fugian i think its spelled because im from fu jian
