你好! Benny about the software I found a way. =D Thank you for your help! Now, I have some doubts =D
I have just watched the “How to make a friend in the bar” lesson. I saw that you wrote 这里 附近有好的酒吧吗? and you pronounced 有 in the second tone. I wanted to know why. The same ocurred in 我能请你喝一杯吗? you pronouced 请 in the second tone instead of the third. Why?
Thank You

2008-02-18 / 05:37AM | | Hi,
when i was learning mandarin (which im actually still doing it), the textbook actually has a rule for that. whenever you have two consecutive third tones, you change the first third tone into a second tone.
e.g qing3 ni3 becomes qing2 ni3, and so on.
Hope this helps! =) | |
