Mandarin Lesson 2 : yik er san

Children, this time we'll learn how to say numbers in Mandarin.
I browse on Internet and found below chart which comes with chinese character.
So you not only can speak, but read and write too!

1 一 yī (eek)

2 二 èr ('a' as in a book)

3 三 sān (sun)

4 四 sì (silk)

5 五 wǔ (woo)

6 六 liù (lee-you)

7 七 qī (chee)

8 八 bā (pa)

9 九 jiǔ (gee-you)

10 十 shí (sher)

0 零 / 〇 líng


11 十一 shíyī 10+1


12 十二 shí'èr 10+2

13 十三 shísān 10+3

19 十九 shíjiǔ 10+9

20 二十 èrshí 2x10

21 二十一 èrshíyī 2x10+1

22 二十二 èrshí'èr 2x10+2

30 三十 sānshí 3x10

40 四十 sìshí 4x10

90 九十 jiǔshí 9x10

99 九十九 jiǔshíjiǔ 9x10+9


That's for today. Soon, we'll continue from 100 to 10,000
Happy learning! ;)

Note:
Easy and straightforward



The Chinese counting system is fairly easy and straightforward. There are not as many number words as in English (where the numbers zero up to twenty require twenty-one different words, plus more words for the tens, e.g. 'forty').

Mandarin Lesson 1 - Greetings

Children, today I wanna give you a lesson about Mandarin Language. But here, I will only teach you how to speak, not to write ok.

Our first lesson is Greetings. As this is a main key to start a conversation.

Ok, let's begin!

Good Morning - Chao An / Chao Shang Hao
Good Afternoon - Wu An / Xia Wu Hao
Good Evening / Good Night - Wan An / Wan Shang Hao

Hello - Ni Hao (knee how)
How are you - Ni Hao Ma
I'm fine - Wo Hao / Wo Hen Hao
Good bye - Zai jian (jai jian)
Thank you - Xie xie (Share share)
You are welcome - Bukeqi (pu ke chi)

Wo - I, Me
Ni - You
Hao - Good, Well
Zai - Again
Jian - See
Hen - Very

I think, that's all for today. We'll continue again some other time.
Remember, practice makes perfect.
Thank you.
