Well, like i said earlier on, Chinese words are categorized into different pitches, according to how they're said.
There're four different classifications altogther. This is their correct order, from first to last.
-normal pitch.
-high pitch, rising alittle to the end.
-low pitch, rising alittle to the end.
-short and sharp pitch.
It's hard to describe how they really sound like, you'll have to hear them for yourself. ^_^
hope that helps. 
There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.
