Forums > Living in Kunming > Question about local Kunming dialect Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I was wondering if anyone with knowledge of the local dialect can help me out here for a phonology project that I am working on. The question that I have is mainly on how the tones work.
How exactly do the tones in 昆明话 work? How are the tones different from say, standard mandarin? And are tones affected by the type of sentences that they are spoken in? For instance, if asking a question or saying a commanding statement would affect the way tones work.
I would be grateful to anyone that could give me any kind of answer, anything simple would be fine. I don't expect anyone here to write a paper for me, but if I can figure out how the tones work, I can probably make more sense out of some of the recorded data that I have.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Avengers midnight release show From what I've gathered online (theater.mtime.com/[...] there are two theaters showing it at midnight and the one closer to me is near Beichen, 北辰财富中心影院. I'm probably going to go eat dinner in that area pretty soon and I'll be checking out the available seating for the movie while I'm there.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Avengers midnight release show Hi everyone. I'm interested in watching this movie but I don't really have anyone to watch it with. I'd definitely go watch it by myself if I had to, but I want to see if there's an interest from others here that also want to watch the midnight release. Any other comic book fans or marvel movie fans interested in watching the midnight release?
Forums > Living in Kunming > Board Games, anyone? Resurrecting a fairly old thread, but I'm interested in finding a group of board game players perhaps during weekday evenings. I would also like to see what games are available at the Game Cafe...
Forums > Living in Kunming > Any place to watch NBA games? I'm looking for a place in town where I can watch some basketball games, preferably Knicks games, but I can enjoy watching any game for that matter.
Is there any place that has a friendly crowd that gathers to watch basketball?
College March Madness would also be fun to watch too...
