learn 99 Chinese number in 5 minutes

The Chinese numbers are one of the easiest parts of the language. It is not only easy to write but also very logical that we don’t need to memorize too many things. To master the numbers from 1 to 99, all we need is ten basic numbers, from 1 to 10.

1 – 10

11 – 19

In Chinese, all two-digit numbers must contain the number 10 十 (shí), and it is written in the tens digit. From 11 to 19, the tens digit is 1, so no number needs to be added before; the units digit number is the same as the one-digit number.

For example, 17 is 十七 (shíqī), which is “ten seven” or 10 +7.

20, 30, 40…

When the tens digit is more then 1, we add the corresponding number before 10 十 (shí) and leave the units digit blank if it is 0.

For example, 30 is 三十 (sānshí), which is “three ten” or 3 x 10.

21 – 99

For the rest of the two-digit numbers, we follow the same rule from the above section, only add the corresponding number to the units digit.

For example, 69 is 六十九 (liùshíjiǔ), which is “six ten nine” or 6 x 10 + 9.
