Quick Question with 嘲


牛juice

Recommended Posts

So I'm learning the symplified versions of Japanese kanji through Remembering the Hanzi, Symplified. It's a good book, particularly when switching between these langauges. I look up the tones and pronunciations of the characters through yellow bridge dictionary but I just discovered it has a list of pronunications on the back of the text. I looked at the first 50 which I just started that day and noticed that 嘲 was listed as "chao3" not "chao2" which I wrote down and memorised from YB. This was the only difference so far but is he wrong? Can 嘲 be pronounced "chao3"? (I thought it is the same as 朝...which technically has two but you know which one I mean ;) )

谢谢您们!

Your'e probably right in thinking that, I personally never heard it but I thought 谢谢你 sounded incomplete. (呵呵 >.<')

(But it seems you are studying Cantonese, right? Then the pronunciation would be completely different anyways. Thanks though. ^0^)

I have consulted a few Chinese dictionaries (both on-line and paper). The two pronunciations of 嘲 listed are without exception chao2 and zhao1.

Regarding 您們, my understanding is that 您 does not go with 們.

No I am not studying Cantonese. And 你 and 您 have the same pronunciation in Cantonese.

"And 你 and 您 have the same pronunciation in Cantonese. "

Interesting. :)

As each other in Cantonese. Not that the Cantonese pronunciation is the same as the Mandarin pronunciation. Not sure if that was clear to you.
