@Χρυσή Πετρίδου σορρυ αλλά όχι😭 απλώς προσπαθώ να μάθω τους τόνους όσο πιο καλά μπορώ, οπότε βλέπω πολλά βίντεο σχετικά με αυτούς. Νομίζω πώς θα το δω όμως!
I can't believe you chose a clip from the Untamed - as you absolutely should!! I was already learning Chinese, but it was the show that motivated me to enrol in HSK5 classes and continue improving. Thanks for the lesson!
That's revolutionary stuff. I am learning chinese for over 20 years, but I always struggled with the 3rd tone. I would say my pronunciation is fairly good for a foreigner, which does not mean much(compare yourself always to native speskers in terms of pronunciation). I had always the concept of letting the tone drop and than immediately let it rise again in my head. Thank you for your explanation. Your explanation of the 3rd tone should become the standard explanation.
You are definitely one of the best teachers online! Could you do a lesson how the tones relate to one another. I think for most English speakers we tend to forget that the tone before each tone affects how the next tone is pronounced. For example, if a first tone precedes a second tone, then that means the first tone which is the highest sounding tone dictates where the second tone starts to rise from. That second tone will definitely rise from a high note to an even higher octave because of the first tone. It will sound very different compared to a second tone coming off a third tone
I'm a simple woman I saw xiao zhan so I clicked 🤭 But I stayed for your good lesson (+1 subscriber !) It was really helpful to hear the rythm with the DA DA DA methode so thanks !
As a part-time private Mandarin tutor, thank you for putting out this video. 👍🏽 It's so frustrating that books and apps teach something that isn't correct in real life. It also makes the students unnecessarily confused between the second tone and the third tone. 🤦🏽♀️
I'm a simple man, I see Wei Wuxian and a Chinese lesson in one thumbnail, I click. I considered studying Chinese even before reading the story because of my friends, but I lacked something that'd keep me obsessed and engaged and give me that necessary push without having to constantly bother others and embarrass myself. And then Chinese web novels and The Untamed blew up lol Also that's a nice explanation, makes it even clearer to understand. Though I still struggle a lot with figuring out the correct pronunciation when there are more than two 3rd tones in a row
This is the first time since since using your 0 to hero course I've found such a pin point accurate lesson on intonation. Of course, it was you that made and posted it :) Thankyou so much for recognizing this common mistake and taking the time to help us correct it! Regards from Gold Coast, Australia.
i don't know if RUclips recommended this video because of The Untamed or because i study chinese but i will subscribe because in any case i'm winning 😂❤️ i love how you explained it! it makes me realize the differences between the tones when there's many of them, thanks a lot!
Yeah I don't know how many times I've been put off trying to pronounce a word with a third tone because of how unnatural it felt to try to fall and rise all in one letter sound. I think it's maybe taught that way because when it's in the context of the word, it naturally sounds like it falls when you go into the third tone then rises when you come out of it despite the fact that the tone itself is flat. I'm so glad he explained it this way. I don't think I ever would have figured that out on my own (as dense as that sounds).
Likely because that's what's first taught to children native to the language (as in, when we're 2-4 first learning to talk). We gradually grow out of it and into what standard pronounciation used commonly. Though even I'm not too clear as to why. In younger years teachers let it slide with a reminder, but as you grow older to pronounce it like that is asking for embarrassment. My guess is it's related to children learn to pronounce the tones with imagery and imagination to , the first tone is flat, so the sound made is flat, the second goes up, your tone rises too, the same concept for the fourth which is written downwards, but not for the third. It goes two directions, so teachers have kids prononce it falling then rising it, and 'combine it'.
@@qqingtomo4591 I'm curious - is that actually how it's taught, say, in China? We all learn Chinese as kids in Singapore and I've never learnt it that way, I just directly learnt it as the single sound that it is
Even though I don't think it's helpful, I actually don't think it's wrong - I just think one reason foreigners have a hard time with this is because in English, you put stress on either the first or second syllable of a 2-syllable word. (English is a stress-timed language, and Chinese is a syllable-timed language.) If you unconsciously emphasise or lengthen "xi-" or "-ang" in "xiang", even to a miniscule degree, you won't get a third tone. Whereas if you do falling-rising while putting equal emphasis or length on the syllables, the whole word "xiang" comes out to an overall third tone. Or if you're just doing the falling-rising on just one syllable/letter, doing it really quickly (and with falling rising in EQUAL measure) does come out to a 3rd tone too!
@@TheHothotheatlive Oh, I'm Malaysian, and most Chinese I know have experience with our teachers teaching with this method. (Especially when words without any tones, 轻音, exists n most of us couldn't really pronounce the difference) I'm not too sure if it's what's used by other Chinese in other countries though.
Fantastic fantastic explanation ! Perfect to practice along. I found such clarity only in classes at 北语速成学院 (BLCU intensive college) and nowhere else. Thank you
RUclips recommended this to me because I've been watching MDZS on Tencent. I'm learning Korean and have Japanese on the back burner but your videos are so nice and I've been enjoying a lot of Chinese media lately so...subscribed and added to the list of languages I'd love to learn one day!
I don't watch dramas, so the thumbnail reference is lost on me. But, I still immediately subscribed. This video has the clearest and simplest explanation for tones I've ever seen. I'm very interested in your course now. My brain is like an unsorted spreadsheet of Chinese words and sayings. I can't always put it together to form coherent thoughts, and too afraid to use what I know. I want to change that.
@Chinese zero to hero Two thing I noticed in this lesson. N - We tend to say a short quick n, but it should be pronounced as a thick N. A - Da sounds like a few a's (Daa). Dan has a short a.
When you Say that the third tone doesn't usually rise, and It should be a flat low tone, Is that the case also in Beijing? Because all of my teachers were from Beijing, and they would enunciate the third tone a lot more than people from other areas of China. Could It Be a regional thing? Thanks
even in the regions that would raise the end in 3rd tones, it is usually way way subtler than most learners do, so keeping it flat with a tiny implied but unvoiced raise is usually enough. the problems is usually learners say it in way that is identical to the 2nd tone.
I learnt my mandarin in Beijing and in my experience the 3rd tone before a 2nd tone isn't quite flat, it is low and falls a bit. You are basically truncating the rising bit. I know in places like singapore the 3rd tone tends to be low and flat though. You really hear the full (low fall+rise) 3rd tone only when it is at the end of intonational phrase.
@@audreygao7644 I meant to Say that to me It sounds like people from Beijing have stronger and more pronounced tones. I also noticed that Beijingers also strongly pronounce the "ing" "ang" etc
Thank you so much! This is EXACTLY the kind of guidance, repetition and clarification I have been looking for. You are a godsend. Thank you for this superb guidance.
I'm so glad to see this video. It's been a while since I started noticing that this bloody third tone actually doesn't rise as I had always read about. You are the first who explicitly sais that the third tone is just flat and low. Thank you!
My former Chinese professor wrote his Doctoral Dissertation on this phenomenon. Nice video! Thanks for helping all of us Chinese learners out here. I will continue to practice Chinese in videos :)
As a European I'd like to share some advice that really helped me! I have been taking singing lessons ever since childhood and the practice of intervals in classic music really helped me in combination with tone training for chinese pronounciation! If you struggle greatly with the correct tones even after some times, you might try to really take a step back completely, do some vocal training and them maybe get together with a chinese friend and learn to read traditional poetry :) This helped me a lot with my every day pronounciation after getting stuck for a while
I think that thinking instead of the 3rd tone as dipping down helps to avoid from trying to rise. the sound drops quickly, lower into your throat, and if there is a “rise” it’s only back to the original pitch you started the word with.
😍❤wow cool, i always find it hard to pronounced the third tone. Because i usually confused it with the second tone. Thank you very much, this is very helpful🥰❤❤ 多谢
honestly I came here because of the thumbnail but I also was interested in this video- My native language is mandarin since I was born in china but I was raised in america. My reading and writing dropped also my speaking. But watching The Untamed really got me back into wanting to learn chinese further (learning new words since I only knew the basics etc.) I still think my tones and pronouncing stuff sounds like a really good foreigner so- this helped a lot- anyways this video makes it fun to learn because of clips from a drama i'm still addicted to.
I learned a lot watching this video, and this guy is so good I felt the need to fix my accent and was saying the words along with him until I remembered I don't speak Mandarin😂
It’s simpler than this. The sound of the 3rd tone is dependant on the tone after it. The first example has the 2nd tone, low-high after it, so you get the mid-low part of the 3rd tone but the low-high part of the 3rd tone is left out. If it’s followed by another 3rd tone, you get the low-high part but the mid-low part is cut out. And if it’s followed by a 5th (no) tone, essentially the tone pattern spreads over the two syllables: mid-low-high spreads over 胆子 for example.

Your lessons has improved over the years. You guys are becoming more organized.
The hard work is appreciated 💜

Third tone is a low falling tone in most cases, falling-rising in isolation. Good explanation.
Had issues with the third tone for years this a great way to put it into context. Thanks!
You have helped me out so much with this tone!! The 3rd tone is the reason why I always skipped learning Mandarin :(
i was having trouble with the 3rd tone, so this helped a lot!
It took me a year in China and 10 years of linguistics behind to really get it. Thanks for confirming it.
Two of my favorite things combined : learning Chinese and The Untamed😍🤭
Excellent lesson!!! Using the DA syllable really works wonders!!!
So every book teaches this wrongly. The question though is: whyyyyy? (do they do that). Great vid btw.

Yes but this doesn't apply in Taiwan, Singapore and Southern China, where the 3rd tone stays as the 3rd tone no matter what :)
