    Numbers – 0-10 (25/10/19)

    0 - líng 6 - liù
    1 - yī 7 - qī
    2 - èr 8 - bā
    3 - sān 9 - jiǔ
    4 - sì 10 - shí
    5 - wǔ
    Difference between èr and liǎng

    • Uses of 二 (èr)
    • 二 (èr) Is for Numbers
    • The digit "2" is 二 (èr). This is used generally in numb
    ers, when counting to ten, giving out a phone number, an
    d so on.
    • Unlike 两 (liǎng), 二 (èr) is not used to say there are
    "two" of something, and does not generally occur with 
    measure words by itself. Numbers like 十二 (12) (shí'èr)
    and 二十二 (22) (èrshí-èr) end with a "2" and can still
    be combined with measure words. In those cases, 两 (liǎn
    g) is not needed.
    èr
    • Here are some common examples of
    二 (èr) in action:
    • dì-èr (the 2nd one)
    • dì-èr cì(the 2nd time)
    • Èryuè (February)
    • èr hào (2nd date of month)
    • èr lóu (2nd floor)
    Liǎng
    • Uses of 两 (liǎng)
    • 两 (liǎng) Is for Measure Words
    • When specifying quantities (and using measure words to d
    o it), 两 (liǎng) is used. This is when you want to say
    "two of something" or "both."
    • Here are some common examples of 两 (liǎng) in action:
    • liǎng gè xiǎoshí - 2 hrs
    • liǎng diǎn - 2 o’clock
    • liǎng tiān - 2 days
    • liǎng nián -2 years
