| Taiwanese Mandarin Survival Phrases Lesson 12: Counting 10 to 100 |
| In this lesson, we will learn the numbers from 10 to 100. |
| First, let’s review numbers 1 to 10: |
| One, 一(yī), first tone |
| Two, 二(èr), fourth tone |
| Three, 三(sān), first tone |
| Four, 四(sì), fourth tone |
| Five, 五(wǔ), third tone |
| Six, 六(liù), fourth tone |
| Seven, 七(qī), first tone |
| Eight, 八(bā), first tone |
| Nine, 九(jiǔ), third tone |
| Ten, 十(shí), second tone |
| Now, we will look at numbers eleven to nineteen: |
| To form numbers 11-19, you simply take numbers 1-10 and add them on to the end of 十(shí) which is 10. |
| For example, to form "11,” simply put 10 and 1 together. Altogether, you have 十一(shí yī). |
| 十一(shí yī) is first in second tone and then first tone. |
| Let’s continue counting to 19 with the same pattern: |
| Twelve is 十二(shí èr). This is in second tone and fourth tone. 十二(shí èr). |
| Thirteen is 十三(shí sān), which is second tone and first tone. 十三(shí sān). |
| Fourteen is 十四(shí sì); in second tone and fourth tone. 十四(shí sì). |
| Fifteen is 十五(shí wǔ); second tone and third tone. 十五(shí wǔ). |
| Sixteen is 十六(shí liù); second tone and fourth tone. 十六(shí liù). |
| Seventeen is 十七(shí qī); second tone and first tone. 十七(shí qī). |
| Eighteen is 十八(shí bā); second tone and first tone. 十八(shí bā). |
| Nineteen is 十九(shí jiǔ); second tone and third tone. 十九(shí jiǔ). |
| The same pattern can be used for all numbers from ten up to one hundred. |
| To form twenty, put "two" in front of "ten,” so we have 二十(èr shí). This is in fourth tone then second tone. Once more, 二十(èr shí). |
| Now, we will follow the same pattern and count from twenty one to twenty nine: |
| To say “twenty one,” you will say “two,” “ten,” and “one.” Together this is 二十一(èr shí yī). This is in fourth tone, second tone, first tone. 二十一(èr shí yī). |
| Twenty two is 二十二(èr shí èr). Fourth tone, second tone, fourth tone. 二十二(èr shí èr). |
| Twenty three is 二十三(èr shí sān). Fourth tone, second tone, first tone. 二十三(èr shí sān). |
| Twenty four is 二十四(èr shí sì). Fourth tone, second tone, fourth tone. 二十四(èr shí sì). |
| Twenty five is 二十五(èr shí wǔ). Fourth tone, second tone, third tone 二十五(èr shí wǔ). |
| Twenty six is 二十六(èr shí liù). Fourth tone, second tone, fourth tone. 二十六(èr shí liù). |
| Twenty seven is 二十七(èr shí qī). Fourth tone, second tone, first tone. 二十七(èr shí qī). |
| Twenty eight is 二十八(èr shí bā). Fourth tone, second tone, first tone. 二十八(èrshí bā) |
| Twenty nine is 二十九(èr shí jiǔ). Fourth tone, second tone, third tone. 二十九(èr shí jiǔ) |
| Finally, here are the base numbers from forty to ninety: |
| Forty is 四十(sì shí). Fourth tone, second tone. 四十(sì shí). |
| Fifty is 五十(wǔ shí). Third tone, second tone. 五十(wǔ shí). |
| Sixty is 六十(liù shí). Fourth tone, second tone. 六十(liù shí). |
| Seventy is 七十(qī shí). First tone, second tone. 七十(qī shí). |
| Eighty is 八十(bā shí). First tone, second tone. 八十(bā shí). |
| Ninety is 九十(jiǔ shí). Third tone, second tone. 九十(jiǔ shí). |
