Lu Posted February 6, 2017 at 09:17 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 at 09:17 PM @Daniel Tsui44, I think the OP is asking about tone sandhi. As you probably know, 一 changes tone, depending on what other word follows it. In this sentence, I don't think it's the first tone. Or do you disagree? @Apollys, I'd say second tone, but I'm not sure if my explanation of the reason would be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Tsui44 Posted February 7, 2017 at 12:24 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 at 12:24 AM when it's the first tone,it's like that. you can always pronounce 一 the first tone, when you don't know which tone to pronounce. it don't feel weird.

lips Posted February 7, 2017 at 03:12 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 at 03:12 AM I'm not talking about the tone. I'm saying that "easy" in English is not pronounced as "易zy". ['iːzɪ] is not pronounced as "yee-zi". The letter "e" is not pronounced as "yee" or 易。 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Tsui44 Posted February 7, 2017 at 04:04 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 at 04:04 AM 一 pronounce the same as 易 when in the fourth tone, it sounds like "ee". when 一 in the first tone, it sounds like "ea". in 2nd tone, it pronounce the same as 移, i cannot locate a English example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
