3: Chinese Syllables
A Chinese syllable is usually made up of an initial, a final and a tone. Generally speaking, one Chinese character corresponds to one syllable. A Chinese syllable can have no initial, but must have a final and a tone,
Syllabel = Initial + Final + Tone
māo (猫，cat) = m + ao + -[1st tone]
yú (鱼，fish) = [nil] + ü + ˊ[2st tone]
jiě (姐，elder sister) = j + ie + ˇ[3st tone]
èr ( 二，two) = [nil] + er + ˋ[4st tone]
note: When i or ü acts as a syllable by itself, y is added before it, with the two dots on the top of ü being removed; when u acts as a syllable by itself, w is added before it.
For example: u = wu， ü = yu
