What gets me is that it's not just that each word has a different meaning for each tone, but that the same word and same tone can mean wildly different things very frequently.

i dont get why ppl think tonemes are like optional. they pack as much information as any other phoneme. You wouldnt learn a language and ignore voicing or vowel height or anything like that

I think what throws people off is at some levels/situations it is less important because what one is saying is predictable, but when you want to say something that isn't obvious it becomes important.

how long does it take to understand what tone you hear or lear to say?
... and then a Chinese person passes you in the other direction while filming this

I agree and disagree 😅 context and cadence will get you 90% there! Trying to be so conscious of tones will knock off your cadence and in the end make it harder to understand. So don’t worry too much!

ime as a learner it’s hard to understand people whose tones are off, even if their pronunciation is otherwise good
