Numbers in Chinese
The Chinese language is one of the best languages for math.
Chinese has number words from 1 to 10.
After that, it is a combination of the 10 nine number words.
On the other hand, English has more than two dozen number names.
Counting in Chinese from 1 to 10
When you know Chinese numbers from 1 to 10 you can count up to 99.
But, What do you do when you want to go higher than 10?
Counting in Chinese from 11 and up
Counting Let’s take a look at 11.
In Chinese 11 is “ten” “1 and 12 is “ten” “2.”
How about 20? It is “two” “10”.
How about 80? It is is “eight” “10.”
How about 99? It is “nine” “10” “nine.”
Here you have it! Count in Chinese with joy and laughter!
