If you are about to visit the country, there are certain basic words that you must master before arriving so that you can make yourself understood, at least the most basic things.

As with all languages, to learn to the numbers in chinese The first thing to learn is the basic numbers, that is, learn from 0 to 9, since the other numbers are made up of these.

Next, I will share a table in which you can see the number, its Chinese character and its translation into Spanish, so that you can get an idea about the pronunciation of the number. Either way, you could use an online translator to learn the pronunciation a little better.

Chinese numbers from 1 to 10

Number Chino Pinyin
0 ้›ถ/ใ€‡ ling
1 ไธ€ yi
2 two รจr
3 three saint
4 four Yup
5 ไบ” wว”
6 ๅ…ญ liu
7 Seven what
8 Eight ba
9 nine hee
10 Ten she thought

We recommend that you spend some time memorizing the numbers and practicing their pronunciation. Once you have mastered them you can move on to the following table:

Numbers from 10 to 20

Number Chino Pinyin
11 eleven shรญ yฤซ
12 twelve yes it is
13 thirteen shรญ sฤn
14 fourteen shi yes
15 fifteen shi wว”
16 sixteen shรญ liรน
17 Seventeen shi qฤซ
18 Eighteen shรญ bฤ
19 Nineteen shi hee
20 twenty er shรญ

As you can see in the two tables, what is done from 11 to 19 is to put ten followed by the unit. For example, to say twelve (shรญ รฉr) start with shรญ (10) รฉr (2).

This is a rule that is used with most numbers in Chinese. For example, if you wanted to say 22, all you have to do is say "two, ten, two" in Chinese. Easy enough isn't it?

Hundreds, thousands and millions in Chinese

1000 000 one million yฤซ bวŽi wร n

Much the same is true for larger numbers. For example, if you wanted to say 135, you simply have to say 'one, one hundred, three, ten and five'. Sure, there are some rules and exceptions, but in general you shouldn't have a problem with Chinese numbers.
