鸡, get halfway through writing 蛋, forget how to do it without a computerized pinyin input, give up, scribble it out and write dan
- bloak 1y agoThanks for that example. Would a Chinese person ever write the tone in pinyin when writing something for themselves?
- dmoy 1y agoNot when doing fragments in obvious context like that. For one, tone doesn't disambiguate anyways. There's 10+ common characters with pinyin 'dan', and only 4 (5) tones in Mandarin. But also when the context is super obvious there, there's no need.
