Linguistic Insight: Tone is Key in Chinese
In Chinese, tones are crucial for communication. The same sound with a different tone can have a completely different meaning. For example, ma with a high tone means ‘mother,’ with a rising tone means ‘hemp,’ with a falling-rising tone means ‘horse,’ and with a falling tone means ‘scold.’ Pay attention to tones to avoid misunderstandings!
