    The key takeaways are the different ways to write numbers in Chinese characters including numbers from 1 to 10, 11 to 19, 20 to 90, fractions, percentages and dates.

    To write numbers from 11 to 19 in Chinese, you add the number to 10. For example, 11 is written as 十一 (shíyi), which means 10 + 1.

    To write numbers from 20 to 90 in Chinese, you multiply the number before 10 by 10. For example, 30 is written 三十 (sānshí) which means 3 x 10.

    Numbers in Chinese 11 to 19
    Now that you have learned the numbers from 1 to 10, you should be able to count to 99! Let's see how
    that works. There are some easy basic rules to remember, it is all about adding and multiplying:

    Your base is always the number 10 (

    To form the numbers 11 to 19, we will ADD to 10


    When the number comes AFTER TEN, you ADD it to ten.

    Numbers in Chinese 20 to 90
    To form the numbers 20 to 90, we will MULTIPLY times 10
    When the number comes BEFORE TEN you multiply TIMES ten.

    Numbers in Chinese - Counting to 99


    Now is just a matter of simple math to form the rest of the numbers. Let's recap:
    If the number goes AFTER ten, you add it to ten.
    If the number goes BEFORE ten, you multiply times ten.
    Using these two simple rules, you can get to any number up to 99.

    Writing Chinese Numbers to 99


    .

    10 + 3 = 13

    shsan

    3 * 10 = 30

    sansh

    3 * 10 +3 = 33

    sanshsan

    For the numbers 1 to 99, the number 10 is our base or "stop" number. To form the larger numbers, we use
    the additional base or stop numbers we just learned (100, 1000, 10,000, 1,000,000) and apply the same
    rule:
    If the number goes AFTER the stop number, you ADD it.
    If the number goes BEFORE the stop number, you MULTIPLY it.
    Let's build some numbers!

    (5*100)
    = 500

    wubai

    (5*100)+(10+2)
    = 512

    wubaishr

    (5*100)+(2*10)
    = 520

    wubairsh

    (5*100)+(2*10)+2
    = 522

    wubairshr

    Note: Whenever "0" comes in between two numerals (eg, 101, 308, 505.
    804, etc), we represent it by adding "" at its original place.
    101: in Chinese, we read as /101 (ybai ln y) one hundred
    and one.
    102: in Chinese, we read as /102 (ybai ln r) one hundred
    and two.
    103: in Chinese, we read as /103 (ybai ln san) one hundred
    and three.

    Days of the Month

    Chinese numbers (1-31) + r=dayor Chinese numbers (1-31) + ho=date


    The difference between r=dayand ho=date:
    r=dayis often used in written language (formal) whereas ho=dateis often used in
    spoken Chinese (more colloquial).
    Example:
    The first day of month
    y=one r=day

    Or
    y=one ho=date

    III. Month Format

    Chinese numbers (1-12) + ye=month


    Example:
    February (second month of the year)
    r=two yu=month

    IV. Year Format

    Format: Chinese number + nin =year


    Example:
    The year of 1992
    y=one ji=nine ji=nine r=two nin =year

    V. Full Date and Short Date Formats

    a. Chinese Short Date Format: yu=month- r=day


    Example:
    February 10th
    2 ryu=February10sh r=day
    2 10
    Or
    2 ryu=February10sh ho=date
    2 10
    The Chinese date also uses Arabic numbers for easier reading but still uses Chinese Pinyin for
    pronunciation.
    b. Chinese Full Date Format: nin=year - yu=month- r=day
    Example:
    October 3rd, 1989
    y=one ji=nine b=eight ji=nine nin=year
    sh=ten yu=monthsn=three r=day

    Or
    y=one ji=nine b=eight ji=nine nin=year
    sh=ten yu=month sn=three ho=date

    Note: Please find the stroke order for character:


    In Chinese, names for days of the week are based on a simple numerical sequence.

    The word for week is followed by a number indicating the day: Monday is literally week one,
    Tuesday is week two, etc.

    Weekdays

    Chinese Character

    Pinyin

    Monday

    Pronunciation

    xng q sn

    xng q w

    xng q tin

    Notes:

    (xng q) means week.

    A week is a , literally a star period.

    Sunday is slightly different, giving us two choices: and .

    There are two other ways to express weeks and days, they are (zhu) and (l bi). Both of
    these have the day number appended in the same way as for .
    For weekend, we say (zhu m).

    Note: Please also find the stroke orders for characters: ,,,

    In English, there are four different suffixes for ordinal numbers: -st, -nd, rd and -th. Chinese makes things a lot simpler by using one prefix for all
    ordinal numbers: (d). This character is simply placed in front of the
    number:

    Note The Denominator representing the whole part comes at the beginning. For Example:

    2/3 :

    sn fn zh r

    Two parts of Three (two thirds)


    1/2:

    r fn zh y

    One part of Two

    3/4:

    s fn zh sn

    11/16:

    sh li fn zh sh y

    Percentages
    The same construction is used for percentages:

    XX

    bi fn zh XX

    XX parts of one hundred (XX%)

    Examples of Percentages

    20% = 20/100

    bi fn zh r sh

    5% =5/100


    bi fn zh w
