How Chinese numbers work: 5 patterns
Chinese numbers are built like arithmetic: learn ten words and combine them.
- 1
0–10: ten words to learn
零一二三四五六七八九十 Plus 零 (líng) for zero.
- 2
11–19: 十 + unit
+ →十一 十一 shíyī, 十五 shíwǔ, 十九 shíjiǔ.
- 3
The tens: unit × 十
× →二十 二十 èrshí, 三十 sānshí … 九十 jiǔshí.
- 4
21–99: tens + unit
+ →二十一 二十一 èrshíyī, 四十五 sìshíwǔ, 九十九 jiǔshíjiǔ.
- 5
两 for “two of something”
Counting things, 2 is 两 (liǎng): 两个人, two people. In the number itself it stays 二: 二十二.
Big numbers in Chinese: hundreds, thousands, a million
100 is 一百, 1,000 一千, 10,000 一万 (yīwàn): Chinese groups by ten thousand, so a million is 一百万 (100 × 10,000). A zero inside a number is said as 零: 一百零一 (101).
