tonation 给 我 打 电话 The question is regarding tonation as I know if 2 3rd tones are followed then the first changes to the second tone OK, but in this case what is the spoken tonation as to me sounds strange that the ' 打' jumps back to the 3rd tone? Thank You in advance for the help

请给我 发票 tonation I have a question regarding tonation. I've read somwhere that if more the 2 words with the 3rd tone are following each other then only the last is used with the 3rd tone, but all the foregoing ones are used with the 2nd tone. So that would mean that the following sentence till '我' '请给' are pronounced with the 2nd tone only '我' has already the 3rd one? 请给我 发票
