Lesson 40

Rules of the Pinyin (phonetics)<8>

8. The Pinyin of a vocabulary formed by more than two Chinese characters should be written one after another without any interval in between.

For example:

zǎoshàng – 早上

meaning “morning”

xǐhuān – 喜欢

meaning “like”

But to make learning more convenient for you, we make use hyphen to separate the Pinyin of each character.

For example:

zǎoshàng       早上       meaning “morning”

xǐ-huān       早上       meaning “like”
