I've spent the past month in Beijing (past experience in Dalian and Nanjing) and noticed that 尽量 seems to be pronounced with two 4th tones. Am I hearing wrong? If it IS two 4th tones, Beijing thing or nation-wide?

Thanks y'all.

It is nation-wide

@zjv5002,

Yes, it's nation-wide. People usually say two 4th tones, but if you take HSK tests, you want to remember the correct pronunciation is 3rd and 4th tone :)

You can find some podcasts where talked about 尽量.
