BREAKING NEWS – I finally understood the tones in Mandarin !!!

I repeat – I GOT HOW TO PRONOUNCE AND DIFFERENCIATE THE MOTHERFUDGING TONES

Thanks to the explanations of the picture I’m putting here. So helpful.

I mean an acquaintance of mine has always marked the Mandarin tones with the symbols . ? , !

The hỏi and nặng tone markers in Vietnamese are derived from the question mark and period. (The others are taken from Greek.)
