==How to pronounce years and phone numbers in Mandarin Chinese==
When pronuncing a phone number or a year, it must be done digit by digit.
When pronuncing phone numbers for instance, the Chinese often replace "<span class="notranslate">一</span>" by "<span class="notranslate">幺 <yāo></span>".
The year "<span class="notranslate">2014</span>" is <span class="notranslate">二〇一四(年) ‹ èr líng yī sì (nián) › and not "<span class="notranslate">二千〇一十四</span>".
