== Introduction ==
=== Understanding Numbers in Yue Chinese ===


Welcome to the lesson "Numbers 1-100" in our "Complete 0 to A1 Yue Chinese Course"! In this lesson, we will focus on learning how to count from 1 to 100 in Yue Chinese. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and mastering them will allow you to express quantities, tell time, and understand prices. As we progress through the lesson, we will cover the pronunciation and writing of each number, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of this important topic.
Counting in Yue Chinese is relatively straightforward, but it has its unique characteristics. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:


Let's get started!
* '''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.


== Numbers 1-10 ==
* '''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.


Let's begin by learning the numbers 1 to 10 in Yue Chinese. These numbers are the building blocks for counting further, so it's crucial to familiarize yourself with them.
=== Numbers 1-10 ===


Here is a table that shows the Yue Chinese numbers 1 to 10, along with their pronunciation and English translation:
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:

|-
|-
| 九 || gáu || Nine
 
| 九 || gau2 || nine
 
|-
|-
| 十 || sāp || Ten
 
| 十 || sap6 || ten
 
|}
|}


Now let's practice pronouncing these numbers together:
=== Numbers 11-20 ===


* 一 (yāt) - One
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:
* 二 (yih) - Two
* 三 (sāam) - Three
* 四 (sei) - Four
* 五 (ngh) - Five
* 六 (luhk) - Six
* 七 (chāt) - Seven
* 八 (baat) - Eight
* 九 (gáu) - Nine
* 十 (sāp) - Ten


Great job! Now that we have learned the numbers 1 to 10, let's move on to the next set of numbers.
* '''11 to 19''' is formed by saying “ten” followed by the unit number.  


== Numbers 11-20 ==
* '''20''' is represented as “two tens.”


In Yue Chinese, the numbers 11 to 20 have a specific pattern. From 11 to 19, the word for ten (十, sāp) is combined with the individual numbers to form the complete number. Let's take a look at the table below to see how it works:
{| class="wikitable"

| 十二 || sap6 ji6 || twelve
 
|-
|-
| 十三 || sāp sāam || Thirteen
 
| 十三 || sap6 saam1 || thirteen
 
|-
|-
| 十四 || sāp sei || Fourteen
 
| 十四 || sap6 sei3 || fourteen
 
|-
|-
| 十五 || sāp ngh || Fifteen
 
| 十五 || sap6 ng5 || fifteen
 
|-
|-
| 十六 || sāp luhk || Sixteen
 
| 十六 || sap6 luk6 || sixteen

|-
|-
| 十九 || sāp gáu || Nineteen
 
| 十九 || sap6 gau2 || nineteen
 
|-
|-
| 二十 || yih sāp || Twenty
|}


Take your time to practice pronouncing these numbers:
| 二十 || ji6 sap6 || twenty


* 十一 (sāp yāt) - Eleven
|}
* 十二 (sāp yih) - Twelve
* 十三 (sāp sāam) - Thirteen
* 十四 (sāp sei) - Fourteen
* 十五 (sāp ngh) - Fifteen
* 十六 (sāp luhk) - Sixteen
* 十七 (sāp chāt) - Seventeen
* 十八 (sāp baat) - Eighteen
* 十九 (sāp gáu) - Nineteen
* 二十 (yih sāp) - Twenty


Well done! You are making great progress. Let's continue with the numbers 21 to 30.
=== Numbers 21-30 ===


== 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.


Similar to the pattern we saw in the numbers 11 to 20, the numbers 21 to 29 in Yue Chinese are formed by combining the word for ten (十, sāp) with the individual numbers. Let's take a look at the table:
* '''21 to 29''' is formed by saying “two tens” followed by the unit number.

Take a moment to practice pronouncing these numbers:
=== Continuing with Higher Numbers ===


* 二十一 (yih sāp yāt) - Twenty-one
This pattern continues for the numbers up to 100. Here’s a brief overview of how to express numbers from 31 to 99:
* 二十二 (yih sāp yih) - Twenty-two
* 二十三 (yih sāp sāam) - Twenty-three
* 二十四 (yih sāp sei) - Twenty-four
* 二十五 (yih sāp ngh) - Twenty-five
* 二十六 (yih sāp luhk) - Twenty-six
* 二十七 (yih sāp chāt) - Twenty-seven
* 二十八 (yih sāp baat) - Twenty-eight
* 二十九 (yih sāp gáu) - Twenty-nine
* 三十 (sāam sāp) - Thirty


Excellent work! You are doing great. Let's move on to the next set of numbers.
* '''31 to 39:''' Start with “three tens” followed by the unit number.


== Numbers 31-100 ==
* '''41 to 49:''' Start with “four tens” followed by the unit number.


The numbers from 31 to 100 in Yue Chinese follow a similar pattern as the ones we have learned so far. They are formed by combining the individual numbers with the word for ten (十, sāp) and the word for hundred (百, baak). Let's take a look at the table below:
* And so on...
 
Here’s a table illustrating some of these numbers:

=== 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.”

5. 12 = _______


== Cultural Insight ==
'''Solutions:'''


In Yue Chinese-speaking regions, numbers hold cultural significance beyond their numerical value. For example, the number 8 (八, baat) is considered lucky because it sounds similar to the word for wealth (發, faat). As a result, many people in Yue Chinese culture consider the number 8 to bring good fortune and often seek out phone numbers or license plates with multiple 8s. On the other hand, the number 4 (四, sei) is associated with bad luck because it sounds similar to the word for death (死, sei). Therefore, it is common for buildings to skip the 4th floor or use alternative pronunciations to avoid the number's negative connotation.
1. 三十四 (saam1 sap6 sei3)


These cultural associations with numbers reflect the importance of numerology and symbolism in Yue Chinese culture. Understanding these cultural nuances will enhance your language learning journey and allow you to appreciate the rich heritage of the Yue Chinese-speaking community.

Welcome to our exciting lesson on counting in Yue Chinese! Numbers are fundamental in any language and play a crucial role in daily life, whether it's shopping, telling time, or simply communicating effectively. Mastering numbers in Yue Chinese will not only enhance your vocabulary but also give you the confidence to navigate everyday scenarios.

In this lesson, we will cover:

  • The numbers from 1 to 100 in Yue Chinese, including their pronunciation and writing.
  • Examples to illustrate how these numbers are used in context.
  • Exercises to practice what you've learned.

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:

Yue Chinese Pronunciation English
一 jat1 one
二 ji6 two
三 saam1 three
四 sei3 four
五 ng5 five
六 luk6 six
七 cat1 seven
八 baat3 eight
九 gau2 nine
十 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.”
Yue Chinese Pronunciation English
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[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.
Yue Chinese Pronunciation English
二十一 ji6 sap6 jat1 twenty-one
二十二 ji6 sap6 ji6 twenty-two
二十三 ji6 sap6 saam1 twenty-three
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
二十九 ji6 sap6 gau2 twenty-nine
三十 saam1 sap6 thirty

Continuing with Higher Numbers[edit | edit source]

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:

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
四十一 sei3 sap6 jat1 forty-one
五十 ng5 sap6 fifty
六十 luk6 sap6 sixty
七十 cat1 sap6 seventy
八十 baat3 sap6 eighty
九十 gau2 sap6 ninety
一百 jat1 baak3 one hundred

Numbers 100 and Beyond[edit | edit source]

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.”
Yue Chinese Pronunciation English
一百零一 jat1 baak3 ling4 jat1 one hundred one
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

Summary of Key Points[edit | edit source]

  • The numbers 1-10 are the foundation for all other numbers.
  • To form numbers from 11 to 99, combine the tens and units appropriately.
  • 100 is expressed as “one hundred,” and you can continue counting from there.
