Word endings[edit]

Hi, you seem to be adding Beijing dialect endings ("-ar" instead of standard Mandarin "-an"). I think that's unnecessary, because hardcore BJ dialect speakers add "-ar" to almost any word ending in "-an." Badagnani 06:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it called a retroflex ending? The question is, though, is the "-ar" ending used by non-Beijing speakers for those words too? It's my understanding that, in some contexts, non-Beijing speakers of Mandarin sometimes add "-ar," for example after 华. Do you know how to get my Microsoft Input Editor to get the "r" character? I just can't figure it out as it isn't letting me do that. Badagnani 04:04, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, typing "er" worked! 儿儿儿 Thanks! Badagnani 06:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
