Type numbered pinyin like ni3 hao3 and get tone marks: nǐ hǎo. Handles v for ü, neutral tone 5 and syllables run together. Free, instant, no account.
Numbered pinyin writes each syllable's tone as a digit after it, which is easy to type on any keyboard. This converter swaps the digit for the proper mark.
| Number | Tone | Mark | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | First, flat | ā | ma1 → mā |
| 2 | Second, rising | á | ma2 → má |
| 3 | Third, dipping | ǎ | ma3 → mǎ |
| 4 | Fourth, falling | à | ma4 → mà |
| 5 | Neutral | none | ma5 → ma |
The mark sits on a or e when the syllable has one (hǎo, lèi). In ou it sits on the o (dōu). Otherwise it sits on the last vowel (guì, liú). Type ü as v or u: (lv4 gives lǜ).
This only converts pinyin you have already written. To get pinyin from Chinese characters, use the pinyin converter, which reads whole words so 银行 comes out as yínháng.
Put the tone number after each syllable and the converter replaces it with the mark: ni3 hao3 becomes nǐ hǎo. Tone 1 is the flat mark ā, tone 2 the rising á, tone 3 the dipping ǎ and tone 4 the falling à.
The standard rules: a mark goes on a or e if there is one (hǎo, lèi); in ou it goes on the o (dōu); otherwise it goes on the last vowel (guì, liú). The converter applies these rules, so you never choose the vowel yourself.
Write v or u: instead. lv4 becomes lǜ, nu:3 becomes nǚ and nv5 becomes nü. After j, q, x and y the letter u already stands for ü in standard spelling, so ju4 is jù.
Both mean a neutral tone, which has no mark: ma5 becomes ma. The converter counts these separately from marked syllables.
Yes, as long as each syllable is followed by its digit: zhong1guo2 becomes zhōngguó. A run of letters is only converted if it is made of valid pinyin syllables, so text like Windows10 or H2O is left exactly as you typed it.
No, this only converts pinyin that already has tone numbers. To get pinyin from Chinese characters, use the pinyin converter, which reads whole words so that 银行 is yínháng.
