    Neutral tone

    In Chinese there are a number of syllabes wich are unstressed and take a feeble tone. This is known as the neutral tone wich is shown by the absence of tone-graph.

    māma 妈妈 : mum àiren 爱人 : husband, wife
    bàba 爸爸 : dad háizi 孩子 : child, children
    gēge 哥哥 : elder brother guānxi 关系 : relation
    dìdi 弟弟 : younger brother xièxie 谢谢 : thank you
    jiějie 姐姐 : elder sister kèqi 客气 : polite
    mèimei 妹妹 : younger sister xiūxi 休息 : have a rest

    Retroflex final

    The final 儿 "er" is sometimes attached to another final to form a retroflex final and when thus used, it is no longer an independent syllable. A retroflex final is represented by the letter "r" added to the final.

    huì + er -> huìr yíhuìr 一会儿 : a moment
    diǎn + er -> diǎnr yìdiǎnr 一点儿 : a little
    nǎ + er -> nǎr naǎr 哪儿 : where
    zhè + er -> zhèr zhèr 这儿 : there
