第四课：拼音规则+（Pinyin+Rules）

Spelling rules Now that you have some knowledge of initials and finals, you can begin learning about Chinese Pinyin spelling. The seven groups of single syllables cover all spelling in Chinese Pinyin. The final “iou” changes into the form “iu” when spelled with an initial. (iou = iu) The final “uei” changes into the form “ui” when spelled with an initial. (uei = ui) The final “uen” changes into the form “un” when spelled with an initial. (uen = un) Finals beginning with ü should be spelled as u when they are used with the initials j, q, and x, and also üen, üan, üe changes into un, uan, ue. (ü = u, üen = un) Initials z, c, s and zh, ch, sh are never followed by the ü sound. For i, u, ü without an initial consonant: In order to avoid confusion, an apostrophe is used to separate two syllables with connecting vowels.
