English phrase to TRANSLATE:
[b]The difficulty of learning Chinese tones[/b]
Let’s address the first issue. It is important to emphasize, once again, the following point:
Chinese is a tonal language. This doesn’t only mean that tones make up the words, but also that the meaning of the words themselves relies on their tones.
In non-tonal languages such as Italian or English, tones do exist. We are not aware of that simply because the meaning of the words does not depend on their variation. So, in theory, the same tones can be used to visually represent syllables that make up the words in non tonal languages.

The very first thing you’ll be confronted with when it comes to speaking Mandarin Chinese is the tones. The following charts show, in detail, the four “heights” of a syllable in Chinese.

[b]Težina učenja kineskih tonova[/b]
Istaknimo prvi problem. Važno je naglasiti, još jedanput, sljedeći zaključak:
Kineski je tonalni jezik. Ovo ne znači da samo tonovi tvore riječi, ali riječi se oslanjaju na svoje tonove.
U ne-tonalnim jezicima kao što su talijanski i engleski tonovi ne postoje. Mi nismo svjesni toga jednostavno zbog toga što značenje riječi ne ovisi o njihovim promjenama. U teoriji, isti tonovi mogu se koristi za vizualno predstavljanje slogova koji tvore riječi u ne-tonalnim jezicima.

Prva stvar s kojom će ti biti suočeni prilikom pričanja mandarinskog kineskog su tonovi. Sljedeći grafikoni detaljno pokazuju četiri "visine" sloga u kineskom jeziku.
