Why do some words have to be read quietly?

1, light tone is a special tone besides four tones. In words or sentences, some syllables often lose their original tone and are read as light and short tones. This light and short tone is light.

2. Light tone has different meanings for some words. Such as brother Xi Bugatti (brother)-brother Xi Bugatti (brother and brother)

3. Light tone can distinguish the meaning and part of speech of some words. For example: duì tou (enemy, opponent, noun) -duì tóu (correct and appropriate, adjective)

4. Some disyllabic words are used to reading the second syllable softly, without distinguishing the meaning or part of speech. Such as: air, consultation, husband.

5. Conventional light words:

1) auxiliary words should be read lightly. For example, the structural auxiliary words "de, de and de" and the tense auxiliary words "zhe, le and guo" should be read lightly.

2) Light reading of directional verbs. Such as: "flow out, come over, go down, go up" and so on.

3) Light reading of modal particles. Such as "what, what, ah, ok" and so on.

4) Disyllabic monosyllabic words. Such as grapes, radishes and pomegranates. Read the last word gently.

5) Overlapping words. Such as: look, try, brother, father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, sister. Read the last word gently.

6) Distinguish parts of speech. For example, "general idea" is a noun, but "meaning" becomes a verb if you read it lightly. "Report" is a noun. When "blame" is lightly read, the word becomes a verb.

7) Distinguish the meaning of words. "Laozi" is an ancient name. The word "zi" in Laozi became "father".

8) The affixes in words with noun suffixes such as "zi, er, tou, men, Yao" are read softly; For example: wood, stones, children, windows.

9) Reduplicated words or reduplicated disyllabic verbs are read softly; Example: brother, mother, walk, watch, star, talk.
