IMO tones are hard bc it’s hard to override the feeling of being sarcastic. We use tones for a whole other dimension of meaning 🤷♀️

additional disclaimer: the tones I'm looking at in this book are for Singaporean Hokkien. Cantonese/Mandarin/Chinese tones are different, I think.

thanks for this. I've always found the concept of tones outlandishly hard.... this makes them seem almost simple. I'm sure the truth is in the middle, but I'll be less afraid moving forward.

What kind of tone is “Yeah, you like that?”

user9188129011191 :
What trips up English speakers is that the tone does not change depending on the context like it does in English. So their brain is actually overcomplicating it by trying introduce different tones

the book is wrong. death and four should be swapped. death is gone 3, four is gone 4!

Great examples!! Spot on except for 3rd tone. Tbh the easiest way to do 3rd is just as low and short as possible. Only rise at all if you're reeeally emphasizing that word

Yup that’s how i teach tones. “No” “Mom” and “What” are distinctly meaningful in all four tones
