      So, the rising tone Má, in pinyin. I think of the line that shows the tone, as grass growing out of the ground for HEMP. It sounds like a ❓
      "Do you have má?"
      Mā Is like a American kid calling for his mom to get her attention.
      "Mom! Ma! Mama!" So, it's a higher whiney pitch for me.

      I think of a person sitting on a saddle. Since there is curve on the back of a horse, this Mǎ, reminds me that there's a fall and a rise in the tone.
      And mà, for the 4th tone, is like when you dropped your food that you've been craving all day, because a fucker didn't stop at a red light and you exclaim:
      "DAMN!" WITH FORCE.
      So 👇 goes the tone with force
      I'm a student of the Chinese language and this is what helped me to remember MA.

    This show was a rare treat for me. Well done. Although I am a man the bits about being "31" and "sold" hit home. My late mother called me once and anxiously asked "What have you done? Your wife called me and asked if the warranty was still good?" - 25 years after we were married! We have four half Irish grandchildren but we love them anyway. You get used to it. I mean them. Keep up the good work.

    Great set from Dawn and her wedding speech is a classic. When the Chinese tennis star Li Na won the Australian Open major tennis title in 2014 she delivered an unexpectedly funny acceptance speech. It's worth checking out. She provided her husband with some "feedback" in the same manner as Dawn.
    What's with the "Ireland is small" vibe? On one of her first visits to Ireland my Canadian sister-in-law commented "Gee....your country is so small it could fit into one of our lakes".
