Use this tool to add tone marks to pinyin or to convert tone number (e.g. hao3) to tone marks.

Although you can use the red buttons to add tone marks, we highly recommend you use the number method (e.g. hao3) for speed and placement of the accent above the correct vowel. [Hint: Type "v" for "ü"]
Note: You do not need to use this tool to enter pinyin in this dictionary.

Hey everyone, this is episode 14 of Two White Chicks in China!

Here’s our question from Ian Shreds from the UK, and he asks “I have heard that the justice system is a little different in Shenzhen to that which Westerners might be used to? For instance the option of a victim to take “instant” monetary compensation? I guess you guys may not have experienced this, but just wondered what your views are.”
