Numbers
Numbers 11 - 20
Numbers bigger than ten are useful for telling the time, for example.
Can you see a pattern below?
shí yī / 十 一 - eleven
shí èr / 十 二 - twelve
shí sān / 十 三 - thirteen
shí sì / 十 四 - fourteen
shí wǔ / 十 五 - fifteen
shí liù / 十 六 - sixteen
shí qī / 十七 - seventeen
shí bā / 十 八 - eighteen
shí jiǔ / 十 九 - nineteen
èr shí / 二 十 - twenty
That's right! Eleven is 'ten one'. twelve is 'ten two' and so on. Twenty is 'two ten'.
