Pregunta de Chino simplificado

why is it that in some Chinese words with two syllables, the last syllable is pronounce with a neutral tone even though it has a tone marking? for example: jīngshén(精神) is pronounced jīngshen. I have seen many words that are like this.

That's a good question but I don't know either. 😅
For me it's more like a habit, just practice and remember.

I myself can't speak all the neutral tone in two syllable words correctly. 😅 but it doesn't matter in daily life, only need to speak perfectly if you are an announcer.
