* 1st tone (mā): 哒 (dā) means "tap" or "click". This is usually used to describe a light, gentle sound.
* 2nd tone (má): 哒 (dá) doesn't have a common meaning on its own. It's often used as a suffix, similar to English "-ing" in words like "running," "walking," or "talking," adding a sense of action or process. For example, "走哒" (zǒu da) means "walking" or "going."
* 3rd tone (mǎ): 哒 (dǎ) doesn't have a common meaning on its own. It's often used as a suffix, like the second tone, but it can also be used to express a sense of emphasis. For example, "吃哒" (chī da) means "eating" or "eating it."
* 4th tone (mà): 哒 (dà) doesn't have a common meaning on its own. It's often used as a suffix, similar to the second and third tones, but it can also be used to express a sense of completeness or finality. For example, "说哒" (shuō da) means "said" or "finished saying."
It's important to note that the meaning of "da" can vary depending on the context and the other characters it's used with.
