Ni hao.
Last few weeks, we learned about how to pronounce the price of goods in Mandarin languange.
Today, I'm going to share about how to pronounce the price of goods while you're doing some groceries or shopping transaction.
Before that, let us revise numbers in Mandarin.
1 yi
2 er
3 san
4 si
5 wu
6 liu
7 qi
8 ba
9 jiu
10 shi
11 = 10 shi + 1 yi = shi yi
12 = 10 shi + 2 er = shi er
...and so on.
20 er shi
30 san shi
40 si shi
50 wu shi
...and so on.
100 yi bai
101 yi bai yi
...and so on.
1000 yi quan
...and so on.
RM = kuai (as if dolar)
cents = fen
'kupang' = mao (RM0.10 = 1 mao)
So, for example :-
RM25.10 = er shi wu kuai shi fen OR er shi wu kuai yi mao
RM1,205.46 = yi quan er bai wu kuai si shi liu fen OR yi quan er bai wu kuai liu fen si mao
Do you get it?
It was very hard for me to understand how the 'mao' works but after few practices, now it's easy for me to use the 'mao'!
That's all for today! :)
Keep trying until you get the picture.
*to be good in numbers, you should teach yourself this : AVOID REMEMBERING THE SEQUAL OF THE NUMBERS;
LEARN BY BEING ABLE TO PRONOUNCE THE NUMBERS JUST BY LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS! :)
