Question

英语翻译
I don't really get the whole tone thing how you can have five words pronounced (MA) but just by the rising and falling pitch it can mean mother or horse or scold or questions.I guess I just don't get it.妈 马 骂 to me just sounds like MAMAMAMA.Kinda wierd,i guess,to a westerner like me.OOOH,send me a message in Chinese!I'll try to figure out what it means then send you a message in english!

Answer 1

我实在不明白音调这件事：五个字都读作ma,只不过升调或降调,其意思就就分别为妈、马、骂、或（代表疑问的）吗.我猜我只是不了解（音调这东西）.对我来说,妈 马 骂 吗都读作 MAMAMAMA,我想这对於一个我这样的西方人来说,有点不可思议.哦,给我发一条中文信息吧,我会尽力猜出它的意思,然后回一条英文短信给你.
