 注解 Zhùjiě Notes

1 基数 Jīshù Cardinal Numbers

Learning Chinese numbers is really easy. You just need to remember 0
to 9. Larger numbers use the number 10. To continue numbers from
11 uses a pattern like for instance:

10+1 十一 shíyī
3 +10+1 三十一 Sānshíyī
9 +10+1 九十九 jiǔshíjiǔ

The rules apply even as you go bigger using the digit words 百bǎi
(hundred) 千qiān (thousand) 万wàn (ten thousand).
Read the following numbers. Continue until you
reach 99.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
零、 一、 二、 三、 四、 五、 六、 七、 八、 九、 十
Líng, yī, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā, jiǔ, shí

11 12 13… 31 32 …
十一、 十二 、 十三、… 三十一 、 三十二、…
shíyī, shí‘èr, shísān, … sānshíyī, sānshí'èr, …

91… 99
九十一 … 九十九
jiǔshíyī, jiǔshíjiǔ
2. 序号xùhào Ordinals

The Chinese make ordinals simple by using a prefix to all

ordinals, i.e. 第dì.

Remember this pattern: 第dì + Number

Read the following ordinals.

第一 dìyī 1st 第二 dìèr 2nd
第三 dìsān 3rd 第四 dìsì 4th
