Use this tool to add tone marks to pinyin or to convert tone number (e.g. hao3) to tone marks.

Although you can use the red buttons to add tone marks, we highly recommend you use the number method (e.g. hao3) for speed and placement of the accent above the correct vowel. [Hint: Type "v" for "ü"]
Note: You do not need to use this tool to enter pinyin in this dictionary.

– origin/source

不客气 – you’re welcome 

– no/not

– dish (type of food)

– tea

Study

If you clicked the link for 不客气, above you will have seen that there are two different pronunciation options. 

You don’t need to worry too much about this right now, but some characters change tone depending on the other character tones around them.

In this case, usually has a down tone (2nd tone) bù. However, if it’s used in a word, such as 不客气 and the character following it also has the 2nd tone, then (bù) becomes bú.

We’ll tell you more about tone changes later on, but if you want to learn more about tones and pronunciation, take a look at our guide
