Some information about Chinese numbers

Counting in Chinese unlocks a fascinating system. Unlike our base-10, they use a base-10 and base-20 combination. Numbers 1-10 have unique characters, 11-19 combine “十” (shí, ten) with 1-9, while 20+ becomes “二十” (èrshí, two-ten) plus units. This repeats for 30, 40, etc. Reaching 100, it’s not “ten-ten,” but “一百” (yī bǎi, one hundred), using a separate character. Tens like 50 and 80 use an added “半” (bàn, half). Interesting patterns emerge: multiples of 4 like 40 (“四 十” sìshí) rhyme, aiding memorization. Numbers like 13 (“十三” shísān) are considered unlucky due to homophones linked to death. Exploring Chinese numbers reveals a unique logic, cultural influences, and even superstitions woven into everyday counting.
