Chinese 3rd tones
As per my knowledge, in chinese there is a rule: if we have 2 third tones one after another, then first character becomes sounding like second tone.
But I'm not sure how should I pronounce if I have 3 or 4 or even more 3rd tones one by one.

Please clarify. Thanks!

Answer

If three words with two the behinds in words care righteousness a top a conjunction close, so these three words can read:3rd+2rd+3rd
If front two words care righteousness a top a conjunction close, so can read:2rd+2rd+3rd
When there are a lot of 3 rd in a sentence, you should see their relations.
so 我给你打电话　is :wo3 gei2 ni2 da3 dian hua.
