üe starts with the tongue high and close to the hard palate for ü. Then, without breaking the sound, relax the tongue and lower the jaw slightly into the position for e.
When üe is combined with the initials, you get the syllables like nüe, lüe, jue, que, and xue.
Note that when üe follows the initials j, q, and x, the two dots on the ü are omitted.
Let's practice pronouncing these syllables, and then use jue in different tones as an example.
| Pinyin | Character |
|---|---|
juē | 撅 |
jué | 决 |
juè | 倔 |
I've listened to the audio and practiced pronouncing the compound final and syllables.
