<\/span>Chinese Numbers Are Easier Than You Think<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The secret is that Chinese uses a pure base\u201110 system. In English, we have irregular words like “eleven,” “twelve,” and “thirteen” that you just have to memorize separately. Chinese is different: eleven is literally “ten\u2011one” (\u5341\u4e00), twelve is “ten\u2011two” (\u5341\u4e8c), and twenty is “two\u2011ten” (\u4e8c\u5341). The pattern holds all the way up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This logical structure means you can start reading prices, phone numbers, and addresses in China much faster than they could in most other languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you know 1\u20139 and the basic units (\u5341 sh\u00ed, \u767e b\u01cei, \u5343 qi\u0101n, \u4e07 w\u00e0n), you can build any number!<\/p>\n\n\n

For the number 2, \u00e8r<\/em> is used when counting or giving digits. The form li\u01ceng<\/em> (\u4e24) is used with measure words (e.g., \u201ctwo people\u201d \u2192 \u4e24\u4e2a\u4eba).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
