The Chinese people will not understand what you're saying if you use the wrong tone! 😁

Every word can have 4 different tones that in turn will give it many different meanings.

Tonality in Chinese seems similar to movement in ASL; It's the difference b/w FAT + PREGNANT, SHY + PROSTITUTE, or COFEE + MAKE-OUT 😏

Exactly like Mandarin

I'm sure we've both signed/said some "choice" things as learners... 😆

(I *KNOW* I have)

Definitely!
