All 68 words

Standard Mandarin (Putonghua) in simplified characters, with traditional forms where they differ. Pinyin shows each syllable's own tone; notes point out where tones change in speech. Written for Testera; the example sentences are original. On 29 September 2026 every word's characters and tone-marked pinyin (68 of 68) were matched against CC-CEDICT (MDBG release of that date, CC BY-SA 4.0), which is also where the traditional forms come from; the tone numbers are read from the pinyin and agree with CC-CEDICT. Pinyin shows each syllable's own tone, as dictionaries do, and notes point out where tones change in speech (third tones in a row, 不 before a fourth tone). Tone-trainer syllables were chosen because CC-CEDICT gives each character a single reading. Example sentences have not yet been reviewed by a native speaker. Spotted something to fix? Tell us.
