2.拼写规则: 拼写规则: Spelling rules

(1) i、u 开头的韵母的拼写规则 The spelling rules for the finals start with i and u.

以i、 u 开头的韵母，前面没有声母时，必须把i改为y,把u改为w.例
如：ie-ye, uo-wo；或者在前面加上y、w，例如：i-yi，u-wu。
When finals begin with i or u without an initial, i should be written as y and u be
written as w. For example ie-ye, uo-wo; or y and w should be added before i
and u respectively. For example, i-yi, u-wu.

(2) ü开头的韵母，前面没有声母时，ü写成yu。例如：hànyǔ(汉语)，yuànzi
（院子），yún（云）。

Final beginning with ü without an initial before it is written as yu. For example:
hànyǔ(Chinese)，yuànzi（courtyyard），yún（cloud）.

(3) ü开头的韵母与声母j,q,x拼的时候，ü写成u，但还是发ü的音。例
如：jùzi（句子），qù（去），xūyào（需要）

A final beginning with ü follows an initial j or q or x, ü is written as u,but
the pronunciation is still ü. For example: jùzi（sentence），qù（go）
，xūyào（need）.

(4) iou,uei,uen前面加声母的时候，简写成iu,ui,un。例如：niú（牛），huí
（回）dūn（吨）。
When iou,uei,uen follow an initial, they are changed respectively into iu,ui,un.
For example: niú（cow），huí（come back）, dūn（ton）。

(5) 儿化音 Retroflexion with -r
-r常常跟其他韵母结合在一起，使该韵母成为儿化韵母。儿化韵母的写法
是在原韵母之后加r，例如：wánr玩儿、huār花儿。

-r is often added to another final to make it retroflexed. The retroflex final is
transcribed by adding r to the original final, for example: wánr, huār.
