Which is the correct Pinyin for what Chen Na says?
jiá nà dà rén
The tones in the first and second syllables are different from what she says.
jiā ná dà rén
qiā lá dà rén

Chen Na is saying jiā ná dà rén. The tones are first tone, second tone, fourth tone, and second tone.
Note that the initial of the second syllable might be mispronounced as l. The difference between n and l is that n is produced by letting air pass through the nose, while l lets air flow around the sides of the tongue.
