Sreeni 5 Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Demonic_Duck 1,383 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 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 Link to post Share on other sites
