Iu is a special compound vowel, which represents the compound vowel between two vowel syllables. Its pronunciation rule is to pronounce I first, then slide to ou, and the mouth shape changes from flat to round. Specifically, when pronouncing, the lips should be slightly tightened, and the tip of the tongue should be pressed against the lower gum to make a sound similar to "one-Europe".
It should be noted that although iu is a compound vowel, not all Chinese pinyin contains vowels. For example, words such as clothes and fish use i-u to represent the compound vowel iu in pinyin, but other words may also use other compound vowels. Therefore, when using Chinese Pinyin input method, it is necessary to judge the pronunciation law of vowels according to specific Chinese characters.
In Chinese Pinyin, a syllable consists of initials and finals. Among them, vowel refers to the end of vowel syllable, which can be single vowel syllable or compound vowel syllable. A compound vowel is a compound vowel composed of two or more vowel syllables. In Chinese Pinyin, there are four common vowels: ai, ei, ui and ao, which respectively represent different pronunciation rules.
