In contrast to many other languages, there are no separate words for multiples of tens. Also, numbers like eleven, twelve, and thirteen don\u2019t have direct translations following the Chinese counting system but are rather made up from the words for 1 to 10. <\/p>\n<p>In Chinese, numbers greater than 10 are counted as sums. This may sound rather mathematical, but it\u2019s actually not that hard. We will give you some examples: <\/p>\n<p>11=10+1 \u5341\u4e00      15=10+5 \u5341\u4e94     19=10+9 \u5341\u4e5d <\/p>\n<p>20= 2*10 \u4e8c\u5341     23=2*10+3 \u4e8c\u5341\u4e09     28=2*10+8 \u4e8c\u5341\u516b <\/p>\n<p>36=3*10+6 \u4e09\u5341\u516d     57=5*10+7 \u4e94\u5341\u4e03     66=6*10+6 \u516d\u5341\u516d <\/p>\n<p>Double meanings of the Chinese numbers  <\/p>\n<p>Another interesting component of Chinese numbers is their sound, or pinyin. In China, many numbers have an extra meaning that stems from pronunciation. The multiple tones used in the Chinese language can easily create homophones (two or more words with the same pronunciation). This is especially present with monosyllabic words (words consisting of only one syllable). Because of this, some Chinese numbers have \u201cdouble meanings\u201d that are linked to their pronunciation.  <\/p>\n<p>Unlucky numbers  <\/p>\n<p>Similar to some Western countries, Chinese also has lucky and unlucky numbers. Many see this as merely a superstition, but others consider it a reason to avoid, for example, a certain telephone or house number. In Chinese, the sound of the number four \u56db \u201cS\u00ec,\u201d especially in spoken language, can be confused with the word \u6b7b \u201cS\u01d0\u201d which means death. The number four is therefore avoided as much as possible in Chinese culture. Some Chinese buildings \u201cskip\u201d this floor in their design, going straight from 3 to 5. You can compare this to the number 13 in the Netherlands, which could also be considered unlucky in Chinese culture as 1 + 3 equals 4. <\/p>\n<p>Lucky numbers  <\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the numbers 8 and 6 are seen as bringers of great fortune. 6 \u516d \u201cli\u00f9\u201d sounds the same as \u6d41\u201cli\u016b\u201d which means smooth and is for this reason a very popular number in the business world. So, don\u2019t be surprised if you see the \u201cdevilish\u201d 666 used as something positive! <\/p>\n<p>The number 8 \u516b \u201cb\u0101\u201d is pronounced very similarly to the Chinese word \u53d1 \u201cf\u0101\u201d which means wealth\/prosperity and is very popular. The more eights present in a number, the better. For example, a Chinese phone number containing five eights was recently sold for about $ 300,000. In line with this, did you know that the Beijing Olympics took place on 08-08-2008 at exactly 8:08:08 PM? <\/p>\n<p>Although numbers are the first things many of us\u202flearn,\u202funderstanding not only their translation but also their symbolic meaning\u202fis an important step to becoming comfortable using a new language in our day-to-day lives. Think of how important it is to express\u202fage, time, and dates, as well as phone passwords,\u202fbarcodes, and data.
