Welcome to the Yue Chinese Vocabulary lesson for numbers 1-100! In this lesson, you will learn how to count from one to one hundred in Yue Chinese, including pronunciation and writing.
Introduction
Numbers are an essential part of any language, and Yue Chinese is no exception. Knowing how to count in Yue Chinese will help you in everyday life, from shopping to telling time. Yue Chinese uses a simple and straightforward numbering system, which makes it relatively easy to learn.
In this lesson, we will start by learning the numbers from one to ten, then move on to counting by tens up to one hundred. We will also cover pronunciation and writing, so you can practice speaking and reading Yue Chinese numbers with confidence.

Numbers 1-10
In Yue Chinese, the numbers from one to ten are straightforward and easy to remember. Here they are:
| Yue Chinese | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| 一 | yat1 | one |
| 二 | yi6 | two |
| 三 | saam1 | three |
| 四 | sei3 | four |
| 五 | ng5 | five |
| 六 | luk6 | six |
| 七 | cat1 | seven |
| 八 | baat3 | eight |
| 九 | gau2 | nine |
| 十 | sap6 | ten |
As you can see from the table, the pronunciation of the numbers varies, so it's important to practice saying them correctly. You may notice that some numbers have a different tone, indicated by the number after the syllable. For example, the word "一" has a falling tone, which means the pitch starts high and falls low.
One trick to help you learn the numbers is to use them in context. Practice counting objects around you, such as the number of books on your shelf or the number of people in a room. This will help you remember the numbers and increase your vocabulary.
Counting by Tens
Once you have learned the numbers from one to ten, the next step is to count by tens up to one hundred. In Yue Chinese, this is straightforward as well. Here are the numbers from ten to one hundred:
| Yue Chinese | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| 十 | sap6 | ten |
| 二十 | yi6 sap6 | twenty |
| 三十 | saam1 sap6 | thirty |
| 四十 | sei3 sap6 | forty |
| 五十 | ng5 sap6 | fifty |
| 六十 | luk6 sap6 | sixty |
| 七十 | cat1 sap6 | seventy |
| 八十 | baat3 sap6 | eighty |
| 九十 | gau2 sap6 | ninety |
| 一百 | yat1 baak3 | one hundred |
As you can see, the pattern is consistent, with the words for the tens digit (such as "二十" for twenty) coming before the word for "十" (ten). The pronunciation is also consistent, with the stress falling on the second syllable of each number (such as "yi6 sap6" for twenty).
Writing Numbers
In Yue Chinese, numbers are usually written using characters, similar to how they are written in other East Asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese. Here are the characters for the numbers we have learned so far:
- 一 - 二 - 三 - 四 - 五 - 六 - 七 - 八 - 九 - 十 - 二十 - 三十 - 四十 - 五十 - 六十 - 七十 - 八十 - 九十 - 一百
As you can see, the characters are relatively simple and consist of strokes and combinations of strokes. It is essential to practice writing the characters to develop muscle memory and better recognition.
Tips for Learning Numbers in Yue Chinese
Here are some tips to help you learn numbers in Yue Chinese:
1. Practice pronunciation: Yue Chinese has different tones and pronunciations for each number. Make sure to practice saying the numbers out loud to develop pronunciation and tone recognition.
2. Count everything: Practice counting objects around you. This will help you remember the words and increase your vocabulary.
3. Write the characters: Writing down the characters for the numbers will help you remember them better. Try writing them several times and use them in context.
4. Use online resources: There are many online resources available to help you learn numbers in Yue Chinese. Take advantage of these resources to practice your skills.
Conclusion
In this lesson, you have learned how to count from one to one hundred in Yue Chinese. You know the pronunciation, vocabulary and writing of each number, including how to count by tens up to one hundred. Keep practicing your skills by counting objects, writing characters, and using the numbers in context. In the next lesson of the course, we will learn how to tell time in Yue Chinese.
