Student: "This is so irritating! Why do "u" sound sometimes pronounce like"ü" sound?"
That's because in the Chinese Pinyin system, the two dots (¨) used to represent the "ü" sound disappear in certain situations:
-
When followed by the initials "j", "q", "x", or "y", the "ü" sound is represented simply by "u". For example:
-
居 "ju" is pronounced like "jü" ("ju" is written as "ju" )
-
區"qu" is pronounced like "qü" ("qu" is written as "qu" )
-
需"xu" is pronounced like "xü" ("xu" is written as "xu" )
-
瘀"yu" is pronounced like "yü" ("yu" is written as "yu" )
We have similar mouth shape when we pronounce initials "j", "q", "x", and "y" sounds
- our mouth shape become flat
You may try to memorize that when "ü" sound meets flat mouth shape initials "j", "q", "x", and "y",
two dots (¨) wanna run away.
希望對你有幫助！
