3rd tones in a row...

[TaxiAsh]

Hi, hope everyone is well...

 

Admin, I know there a lot of topics about 3rd tones in a row because I searched it!.., please, feel free to merge this into a megathread if there is one (and edit this paragraph out)... or any similar thread, just merge. (this is newbie/elementary level btw, so if hsk 3 or higher, please ignore as you will already know this well)

 

I just thought I would post a link... I just watched the latest ChinesePod Elementary lesson, which turned out to be a 3rd tone lesson! Really good, I'm sure many learners are subbed to this channel as it is very popular, but this is such a good lesson, I thought I would post a link in case anyone isn't...

If you just want to practice then Allset Learning (of Chinese Grammar Wiki fame) have youtube playlists for doing just that, with all 16 tone-pairs.

 

A2 level tone-pairs playlist (or just watch the 3-3 video for third tone + third tone)

 

B1 level tone-pairs playlist (3-3 only)

That's really interesting, I never clocked that 1999 is parsed as 19·99 when applying sandhi.

 

Note, however, that 1998 is still yī jiú jiǔ bā, because the rule disallowing two consecutive third tones takes precedence over everything else. The first 九 in 1999 is only allowed to reclaim its third tone because the second one is already sandhi-ed.

For others to save time, this link is time linked to the part in question... https://youtu.be/dqaihEaa__I?t=364

 

Yes, although these kinds of technicalities are above what I'm learning, I like to try and learn things correctly from the start ?

 

I thought dates were simply the 4 digits in a row, I didn't know they were 'split' like this. Shame the free lesson runs out, as I would have liked to watch all of this one!
