Well, It’s Saturday. And this week’s theme is tea.
绿茶 – loʔ11 zo23, green tea
红茶 – ɦoŋ22 zo44, black tea
茶叶 – zo22 ɦiɪʔ, tea leaf
奶茶 – nɑ22 zo44, milk tea or bubble tea
Note:
The letter ɦ is darker and, well, raspier, than the standard English h sound. O is like it’s name in English. ʔ marks a stopping of the air like you’re holding your breath for just an instant. The standard lowercase i is like “ee” and the ɪ is like the vowel in the word “if” or “sit”. Finally the ɑ is like when you have to say “aaah” at the doctor’s office. It’s further back in you mouth than the a in “bar”.
As usual you can find these as well as tweets by following @AnnalsofWu on Twitter, assuming you can get over the GFW.
