30. 声母 Initials :
j q x
韵母 Finals :
ia ian iang
uei(-ui) uen(-un) üe üan

31. 发 音 要 领 Pronunciation key
j is an unaspirated voiceless palatal affricate. To
produce this sound, first raise the front of the tongue to
the hard palate and press the tip of the tongue against
the back of the lower teeth, and then loosen the tongue
and let the air squeeze out through the channel thus
made. The sound is unaspirated and the vocal cords do
not vibrate.
q is an aspirated voiceless palatal affricate. It is
produced in the same manner as “j”, but it is aspirated.

32. 发 音 要 领 Pronunciation key
x is a voiceless palatal fricative. To produce it, first
raise the front of the tongue toward (but not touching)
the hard palate and then let the air squeeze out. The
vocal cords do not vibrate.
Note: The finals that can be combined with “j”, “q” and
“x” are limited to “i”, “ü” and compound finals that start
with “i” or “ü”.

33. (1) When the compound final “uei” is combined with
initials, it is simplified to –ui and the tone mark is written
over “i”. For example: guì.
(2) When the compound final “uen” is combined with
initials, it is simplified to –un. For example: lùn.
(3) When “ü” is combined with j, q and x, the two dots
over it are omitted. For example: “xué”. “y” is added to
the compound finals which start with “ü” and the two
dots over it are omitted. For example: Yǔyán Xuéyuàn.
拼 写 规 则 Spelling rules
Note: “j”, “q” and “x” are never combined with “u” and “a”.

44. This is a polite way of asking someone’s surname. In China,
when meeting someone for the first time, it is considered more
polite to ask his/her surname rather than his/her full name.
Notice that “guì （贵）” can only be used in combination with
“nǐ（你）” or “nín（您）”, and not with “wǒ（我）” or “tā
（他/她）”.
“Qǐng wèn（请问）” means “May I ask···” or “Excuse me,

given name comes last.
