ong chunk of Chinese without tones..na me wo shi dui de hai shi wo shi dui de?

"Tone marks" may be a better term to use, dui bu dui?

dui, because I give way to your greater knowledge-Tone marks, eh, I'll write that down. Thanks for the correction, Turnoi. However, I think I shall give up trying to practice my Chinese on this forum, since I have met with some disapproval..a bit peeved because twasn't me who started on the pinyin path, but another fire-breathing poster, who now has the temerity to accuse me of showing off my few words of Chinese. Never mind, all good fun; how's them crocs?
