<p>I am still trying to memorise tones of Chinese words. In another post I gave <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypf6div37m0c34i/third%20tone.docx?dl=0" rel="nofollow">a link</a> for 3rd tone words. When I will have written sentences that are easy to remember, I think I will succeed in fixing a lot of my pronunciation.</p>

<p>For other tones, I plan to make sentences with the same pinyin which gives different words. For example, <em>shi</em> gives:</p>

<ul>
<li>With the first tone: to lose, wet, division</li>
<li>With the second tone: to pick up, stone, to know</li>
<li>With the fourth tone matter, scholar, persimmon</li>
</ul>

<p>My question is: what are the pinyin most often used for frequently used words? </p>

I am still trying to memorise tones of Chinese words. In another post I gave [a link](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypf6div37m0c34i/third%20tone.docx?dl=0) for 3rd tone words. When I will have written sentences that are easy to remember, I think I will succeed in fixing a lot of my pronunciation.

For other tones, I plan to make sentences with the same pinyin which gives different words. For example, *shi* gives:

* With the first tone: to lose, wet, division
* With the second tone: to pick up, stone, to know
* With the fourth tone matter, scholar, persimmon

My question is: what are the pinyin most often used for frequently used words?
