Ni hao, Kelin Aolifu. This question has been answered by another member. Here is Janesya Sutedjo’s answer:

The rule is.. you have to write the tone on top of the vocal word that in order of…

a, o, e, i, u, ü

but except i and u ,its depend on which is the last…

ex:

in “jiu” the tone is write on top of u

in “shui” the tone is write on top of i

so depend on the order in xie xie the tone is write on top of the e

Xia ci jian.

There are four tones in chinese. You need to remember every word of its tone.No shortcut I think. Learn more and you will find it more easier.
