Solution
Pinyin is a phonetic system where you use English letters to sound out Chinese words. It was developed to help non-native speakers learn Mandarin Chinese. Pinyin is not a pictorial way to represent Chinese characters, nor is it the English equivalent of Chinese meanings. It also does not involve writing English tones in Chinese. Instead, it is a system that uses the Roman alphabet to transcribe Mandarin Chinese sounds.
