Hello everyone!
大家好!
Welcome to today's Everyday Chinese.
In today's lesson,
we will learn how to say numbers
from 1 to 99.
First, let's get started
with numbers 1 to 10.
一 two
二 two
三 three
四 four
五 five
六 six
七 seven
八 eight
九 nine
十 ten
Then, let's count from 1 to 10 backwards.
十 nine
八 eight
七 seven
六 six
五 five
四 four
三 three
二 two

How to say numbers from 11 to 19?
In fact, Chinese numbers are very logical to remember.
For example, to say 11.
11 is literally 10 and 1.
10 is shí
and 1 is yī.
So, 11 is 10 and 1.
shí yī
Now say 12.
12 is literally 10 and 2.
10 is still shí
and 2 is èr.
So, 12 is literally 10 and 2.
shí èr
Now, can you try to say 13 by yourself?
13 is literally 10 and 3.
10 is shí
3 is sān
So, 13 is 10 and 3.
shí sān
Then, let's try to count from 14 to 19 altogether.
14
10 and 4
shí sì
15
10 and 5
shí wǔ
16
10 and 6
shí liù
17
10 and 7
shí qī
18
10 and 8
shí bā
19
10 and 9
shí jiǔ
Well done! Now, let's continue to say 20.
20 is literally 2, 10.
So, let's say 2, 10 in Chinese.
èr shí
Now, say 21.
21 is literally 2, 10 and 1.
So, let's say 2, 10 and 1.
èr shí yī
Following the same logic, we can say 22.
èr shí èr
23
èr shí sān
24
èr shí sì
25
èr shí wǔ
The same pattern can be applied to all numbers up to 99.
Now, I will invite other Chinese people to randomly say some numbers for practice.
shí yī
shí liù
shí qī
shí jiǔ
èr shí
shí sān
shí wǔ
sì
liù
qī
wǔ
sān
jiǔ shí jiǔ
All right, did you catch all the numbers?
To say the numbers smaller than 100,
all you need to do is to be familiar with numbers 1 to 10
and simply apply the simple logic to say the numbers which you want.
Keep practicing until you can say it out without too much thinking.
Thanks again to today's voice contributors.
In lesson 16, you will learn how to ask for one's phone number.
I will see you next time.
Zài jiàn.
