Welcome to the Yue Chinese Vocabulary lesson for numbers 1-100! In this lesson, you will learn how to count from one to one hundred in Yue Chinese, including pronunciation and writing.
=== Understanding Numbers in Yue Chinese ===


== Introduction ==
Counting in Yue Chinese is relatively straightforward, but it has its unique characteristics. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
Numbers are an essential part of any language, and Yue Chinese is no exception. Knowing how to count in Yue Chinese will help you in everyday life, from shopping to telling time. Yue Chinese uses a simple and straightforward numbering system, which makes it relatively easy to learn.


In this lesson, we will start by learning the numbers from one to ten, then move on to counting by tens up to one hundred. We will also cover pronunciation and writing, so you can practice speaking and reading Yue Chinese numbers with confidence.
* '''Basic Structure:''' The numbers from 1 to 10 form the foundation for larger numbers. Once you learn these, you can easily form numbers up to 99.


Let's get started!
* '''Tones Matter:''' Yue Chinese is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch or intonation used when pronouncing a word can change its meaning. This is especially important when counting.


== Numbers 1-10 ==
=== Numbers 1-10 ===
In Yue Chinese, the numbers from one to ten are straightforward and easy to remember. Here they are:
 
Let’s start with the numbers 1 through 10, as they are the building blocks for all other numbers. Here are the numbers and their pronunciations:


{| class="wikitable"

|-

|}
|}


As you can see from the table, the pronunciation of the numbers varies, so it's important to practice saying them correctly. You may notice that some numbers have a different tone, indicated by the number after the syllable. For example, the word "一" has a falling tone, which means the pitch starts high and falls low.
=== Numbers 11-20 ===
 
Once you have mastered the first ten numbers, the next set is quite simple. Here’s how to form the numbers from 11 to 20:


One trick to help you learn the numbers is to use them in context. Practice counting objects around you, such as the number of books on your shelf or the number of people in a room. This will help you remember the numbers and increase your vocabulary.
* '''11 to 19''' is formed by saying “ten” followed by the unit number.  


== Counting by Tens ==
* '''20''' is represented as “two tens.
Once you have learned the numbers from one to ten, the next step is to count by tens up to one hundred. In Yue Chinese, this is straightforward as well. Here are the numbers from ten to one hundred:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| || sap6 || ten
 
| 十一 || sap6 jat1 || eleven
 
|-
 
| 十二 || sap6 ji6 || twelve
 
|-
 
| 十三 || sap6 saam1 || thirteen
 
|-
 
| 十四 || sap6 sei3 || fourteen
 
|-
 
| 十五 || sap6 ng5 || fifteen
 
|-
 
| 十六 || sap6 luk6 || sixteen
 
|-
 
| 十七 || sap6 cat1 || seventeen
 
|-
 
| 十八 || sap6 baat3 || eighteen
 
|-
 
| 十九 || sap6 gau2 || nineteen
 
|-
 
| 二十 || ji6 sap6 || twenty
 
|}
 
=== Numbers 21-30 ===
 
To express numbers from 21 to 30, you follow a similar pattern. Just state the number in tens and then the unit.
 
* '''21 to 29''' is formed by saying “two tens” followed by the unit number.
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| 二十一 || ji6 sap6 jat1 || twenty-one
 
|-
 
| 二十二 || ji6 sap6 ji6 || twenty-two
 
|-

|-
 
| 二十四 || ji6 sap6 sei3 || twenty-four
 
|-
 
| 二十五 || ji6 sap6 ng5 || twenty-five
 
|-
 
| 二十六 || ji6 sap6 luk6 || twenty-six
 
|-
 
| 二十七 || ji6 sap6 cat1 || twenty-seven
 
|-
 
| 二十八 || ji6 sap6 baat3 || twenty-eight
 
|-
|-
| 二十 || yi6 sap6 || twenty
 
| 二十九 || ji6 sap6 gau2 || twenty-nine
 
|-
|-
| 三十 || saam1 sap6 || thirty
| 三十 || saam1 sap6 || thirty
|}
=== Continuing with Higher Numbers ===
This pattern continues for the numbers up to 100. Here’s a brief overview of how to express numbers from 31 to 99:
* '''31 to 39:''' Start with “three tens” followed by the unit number.
* '''41 to 49:''' Start with “four tens” followed by the unit number.
* And so on...
Here’s a table illustrating some of these numbers:
{| class="wikitable"
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 三十一 || saam1 sap6 jat1 || thirty-one
|-
|-
| 三十二 || saam1 sap6 ji6 || thirty-two
|-
| 四十 || sei3 sap6 || forty
| 四十 || sei3 sap6 || forty
|-
| 四十一 || sei3 sap6 jat1 || forty-one
|-
|-
| 五十 || ng5 sap6 || fifty

| 八十 || baat3 sap6 || eighty
|-
|-
| 九十 || gau2 sap6 || ninety
| 九十 || gau2 sap6 || ninety
|-
| 一百 || jat1 baak3 || one hundred
|}
=== Numbers 100 and Beyond ===
Now that we’ve reached 100, it’s important to know how to express this and numbers beyond. In Yue Chinese, 100 is “one hundred,” and numbers like 101, 102, etc., are formed by combining these elements.
* '''For example:''' 101 is “one hundred one” or “one hundred and one.”
{| class="wikitable"
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| 一百零一 || jat1 baak3 ling4 jat1 || one hundred one
|-
|-
| 一百 || yat1 baak3 || one hundred
 
| 一百零二 || jat1 baak3 ling4 ji6 || one hundred two
 
|-
 
| 一百零三 || jat1 baak3 ling4 saam1 || one hundred three
 
|-
 
| 一百二十 || jat1 baak3 ji6 sap6 || one hundred twenty
 
|-
 
| 一百三十 || jat1 baak3 saam1 sap6 || one hundred thirty
 
|-
 
| 一百四十 || jat1 baak3 sei3 sap6 || one hundred forty
 
|-
 
| 一百五十 || jat1 baak3 ng5 sap6 || one hundred fifty
 
|-
 
| 一百六十 || jat1 baak3 luk6 sap6 || one hundred sixty

| 一百七十 || jat1 baak3 cat1 sap6 || one hundred seventy
 
|-
 
| 一百八十 || jat1 baak3 baat3 sap6 || one hundred eighty
 
|-
 
| 一百九十 || jat1 baak3 gau2 sap6 || one hundred ninety
 
|}
|}


As you can see, the pattern is consistent, with the words for the tens digit (such as "二十" for twenty) coming before the word for "十" (ten). The pronunciation is also consistent, with the stress falling on the second syllable of each number (such as "yi6 sap6" for twenty).
=== Summary of Key Points ===


== Writing Numbers ==
* The numbers 1-10 are the foundation for all other numbers.
In Yue Chinese, numbers are usually written using characters, similar to how they are written in other East Asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese. Here are the characters for the numbers we have learned so far:


- 一
* To form numbers from 11 to 99, combine the tens and units appropriately.
- 二
- 三
- 四
- 五
- 六
- 七
- 八
- 九
- 十
- 二十
- 三十
- 四十
- 五十
- 六十
- 七十
- 八十
- 九十
- 一百


As you can see, the characters are relatively simple and consist of strokes and combinations of strokes. It is essential to practice writing the characters to develop muscle memory and better recognition.  
* 100 is expressed as “one hundred,” and you can continue counting from there.

By the end of this lesson, you'll have a solid grasp of counting in Yue Chinese, which is an essential skill as you progress in your language learning journey. So, let’s dive in!

Understanding Numbers in Yue Chinese[edit | edit source]

Counting in Yue Chinese is relatively straightforward, but it has its unique characteristics. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

  • Basic Structure: The numbers from 1 to 10 form the foundation for larger numbers. Once you learn these, you can easily form numbers up to 99.
  • Tones Matter: Yue Chinese is a tonal language, meaning that the pitch or intonation used when pronouncing a word can change its meaning. This is especially important when counting.

Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

Let’s start with the numbers 1 through 10, as they are the building blocks for all other numbers. Here are the numbers and their pronunciations:

baat3 eight
gau2 nine
sap6 ten

Numbers 11-20[edit | edit source]

Once you have mastered the first ten numbers, the next set is quite simple. Here’s how to form the numbers from 11 to 20:

  • 11 to 19 is formed by saying “ten” followed by the unit number.
  • 20 is represented as “two tens.”

十八 sap6 baat3 eighteen
十九 sap6 gau2 nineteen
二十 ji6 sap6 twenty

Numbers 21-30[edit | edit source]

To express numbers from 21 to 30, you follow a similar pattern. Just state the number in tens and then the unit.

  • 21 to 29 is formed by saying “two tens” followed by the unit number.
