first person of the group.3. The passtone is passed down through by mouth. If

you are not sure about what you hear, ask for a repeat or even a “review” of the person before the person before you.

4. The last student of the chain writes down the passtones in number (e.g. 1-2-3-4)

5. The group with the most correct passtones wins!3

U-Pinyin Zhuyin Pronunciation Examples

u ㄨ R[oo]t 五 correct 主 host

u(ü/v) ㄩ No equivalent! 雨 rain 女 female

ui ㄨㄟ Wei 對 correct會 is able to

喂 hey (2nd tone)

17

Note:In the absence of consonants, “w” is added in front of u.Ui is [wei], not [we] !!

Page 18: Ottawa Mandarin School Adult Class 2011-12 Week 02: September 23, 2011 Instructor: Daniel C. Lee Vowels, mother of rhymes 韻母.

ㄨ (u) vs. ㄩ (u or ü or v)• The confusion ofㄨ /ㄩ is a weakness of

pinyin, which is limited by the number of Roman alphabets.

• Some consonants can be followed only by one of them (e.g. “y” is only followed by ㄩ ).

• Some can be followed by both. In such cases, use ü or v to represent ㄩ .

• However, if there is no chance for confusion, other ㄩ stay as u, not ü.
