Sreeni 5 Report post Posted Wednesday at 01:09 AM c should be pronounced as in caTS 青瓷 qīngcí 瓷 cí I am using Pleco Dictionary but when cí in qīngcí is pronounced like S in it and can not hear T but only S. Can you differentiate ts and s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demonic_Duck 1,383 Report post Posted Wednesday at 02:45 AM Yes, pinyin "s" and "c" are different. I'm not aware of any dialects where they're merged, nor words where they're used in free variation. In contrast, s~sh and c~ch are sometimes merged. So you might occasionally hear speakers of some dialects pronounce 青瓷 more like qīngchí, but never qīngsí. If you're listening to one of Pleco's TTS add-ons, bear in mind TTS-generated audio will never be exactly the same as a speaker pronouncing the full word or sentence. Try 陶瓷 for comparison (might need the extended audio add-on, not sure). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
