hey guys welcome back to Chinese zero to hero the following video you're gonna watch is a lesson
from our new Chinese course phonetics with Chinese characteristics we believe that before advancing
to higher levels the sooner you work on your pronunciation the better off you'll be. for a
limited time only this course is completely free click the link below to enroll or check out our
courses page on our website at chinesezerotohero.com now let's take a look at a phenomenon
that's related to the R sound first here are some common HSK 1 words that you probably are
familiar with the first one is 那 meaning there the second is 哪 with a third tone na meaning
where and the third is 这 meaning here and finally we have 一点 meaning a little
bit often times especially in mainland China especially in the north we tend to attach an
R at the end of the word to give it an are ending and if you want to write the are ending in Chinese
characters you can use the character are as is written in red here in pinyin we simply attach
the letter R at the end so the word there na becomes NAR NAR we added are at the end of its
pinyin and four characters we at the character are so we write na are but it really it's pronounced
like NAR NAR and the word for where na becomes nar the word for here true law becomes jar-jar
and word for a little bit becomes ETA r-ii TR this phenomenon is known as our hua the character hua
means to become something to add a characteristic or feature of something because we're adding a are
here so it's RF ID and that's what our ha means so now with our ha is nor na with our ha is not
true with our hajar and edn with our high CTR if you have a very keen ear you probably have
noticed that when i say eat dr the in went away right eat dr is not eat dnr its et are the end
kind of went away the rules of pronouncing ry is quite complex we suggest that you simply
learn these words individually when they come up and here are some more examples the word for
little-kid is sell high sell high with our hua becomes so hard so hard notice that the i went
away right so hard it's not so hair it's so hard the word for little bird is sonia sonia all and
would our ha it becomes Sonia Sonia Sonia all the word for restaurant is funk want fun Guan
with our hua it becomes fun guar notice the end went away fungo art the word for perfume
is sensual a young Shui with our ha it becomes some sure some Shore notice that way with our
heart becomes were were some short some short the rules involving our high is actually very complex
so I would think it's not that useful to learn all the rules it's better to just learn these words
individually as they come up so that you will eventually discern a set of rules for example
if you see the word sound Shore just know that it's pronounced sound sure sound sure this way
you can spare yourself the pain of learning a long list of rules around in our ha by the way
the word for daughter is nu R although the word ends with our is this a case of our ha
this is not our ha and why do we say that well it's because the character are here actually
has some meaning the word are literally means child right so new are is a female child or a
daughter so our here is not simply representing a sound it's actually it's actually representing
a concrete meaning so new are is female child or daughter so this is not our ha that's why
it's not newer it's not it's not just simply new you what are its new are you need to pronounce
these two characters individually new are new are they do not mix alright and now it's time
for some practice here are some sentences that have a lot of are high in there and
let's see if you can say them correctly just follow along sahar lasagna Senora
