After much demand, I’ve finally put together a table with the Chinese numbers from 1-100. I’m sure you’ll notice a trend in how you form numbers from 11-99. See if you can figure it out on your own. I even went ahead and threw in the number zero for no extra charge!

When learning how to count in Chinese, it’s also useful to learn the hand signals for the numbers 1-10. Obviously, 1-5 are pretty much the same as anywhere, but China has a unique way of counting from 6-10:
Use one hand to count to 10 in China.

Why 100 is yi bai, but 200 is not Er bai.. And its yang bai.. Why sometimes 1 is yi gah..and 2 is yang gah.. Thanks for the response.. ☺☺☺
Jacky:
@Vhin Mercado 200 read as **er bai** is also right

Please post anything you think will help all of us who are eager to learn.

Tamukong Vitalis Shu:
@hulnheb I’m trying to learn Chinese but my problem is some of the words are difficult to pronounce especially when “/,\,^,-” are used above a word and writing the characters also.
Gregg:
@Tamukong Vitalis Shu Those marks actually help you know if your voice should rise, fall, stay high, or do a low curve down and up… Just follow the direction the marks go.
Sridhar:
Nice work, buddy. XieXie!
Deborah:
☺great website
Shuja:
Really appreciate your effort in making this so simple, would appreciate if you could share something on how the sound of these characters are made, like for 7 it is written as qi, the sound is chiee I believe. Overall great help! 🙂
