What is Pinyin?

Pinyin (拼音, literally "spell sounds") is the official romanization system for Standard Mandarin Chinese. Developed in the 1950s, it uses the Latin alphabet to represent Chinese sounds, making it an essential tool for learners to master pronunciation before tackling characters.

Unlike English, where letters can have multiple pronunciations, Pinyin follows consistent phonetic rules. Each syllable combines an initial (consonant sound) with a final (vowel sound), plus one of four tones that give each syllable its meaning.

The Four Tones of Mandarin

Mandarin is a tonal language where the same syllable can have completely different meanings depending on its tone:

ā1st Tone

High and level, like singing a sustained note. Example: mā (妈) = mother

á2nd Tone

Rising, like asking a question. Example: má (麻) = hemp

ǎ3rd Tone

Falling then rising, a dipping sound. Example: mǎ (马) = horse

à4th Tone

Sharp falling, like a command. Example: mà (骂) = scold

Other Ways to Find Characters

Don't know the pronunciation? Try searching by radical instead:

部Browse by Radical (部首)

Radicals are the building blocks of Chinese characters. Perfect for dictionary-style lookup when you can see the character but don't know how to pronounce it.
