@kabelcar1000 I have no idea, but it took me years to become fluent in English. It also depends on how many hours you spend on learning and practicing everyday.
@kabelcar1000 I'm Chinese and basically we like just know you can hear that little tone/pitch/duration on it but generally we just know the correct one cuz of the meaning so just learn em basically :D
so ive just recently started to learn mandarin chinese, and I found out that the language puts certain pitches and tones on words that look the same but the tone makes them mean different things. My question is how can you hear the special tones or pitches in a song since he's following a melody? Is it just something you practice? thanks :)
@kabelcar1000 basically we can't tell them according to it's tones in a song, cause as you say, they're following the melody. But we'll try to recognize them according to their words, phrases, or sentences. So once one is learning enough vocabulary of Chinese, he/she will soon learn to know how to distinguish them in a song.
I'm Vietnamese too. I heard that the melody wrote by Jay, and the lyrics was wrote by someone else I don't remember the name. So beautiful the melody and it's crystal lyrics!
do you have the video 忍者? i think that was the chinese name. it is the ninja music video or the one where it looks like halloween those are my two favorite. or even the one which starts out on the basketball court...
BOTH are acceptable for "who" (shei and shui are both correct, depending on where the speaker is from, the "who" can be pronounced either so better review YOUR Chinese.)

@extremist77 the line before says, "The taste of sanma" Sanma is a type of fish. Therefore the following line
The cat and you both want to understand. refers to the cat and you and the taste of fish
