Chinese Different Tones

There are 4 tones in Mandarin Chinese and a “toneless” sound.

Therefore can homophonic words, words with the same sound, different meanings in Chinese than in most other languages. Obviously, the tones will be good at boosting the relatively low number of syllables. Learn Chinese in this context is very important.
