freefall Posted May 17, 2006 at 05:27 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 at 05:27 PM What are the rules regarding this in pinyin? E.g: zhege, but na zhang. Ge is appended to zhe, but zhang is separate from na. Pardon the lack of tone markers. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 18, 2006 at 04:20 PM Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 at 04:20 PM This may be useful -> Basic Rules of Hanyu Pinyin Orthography (Summary) Demonstrative pronouns zhè, nà and the interrogative demonstrative pronoun nǎ are separated from the nouns that follow them. zhè (ge) rén (this person), zhè zhī chuán (this boat), nǎ zhāng bàozhǐ (which newspaper?) zhè, nà, nǎ are linked with xiē, me, yàng, bān, lǐ, biān, huǐr, ge zhèxiē (these), zhège (this one), nàyàng (that way/then), zhèhuǐr (at this moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
