| There are two ways to say "two" in Mandarin Chinese: 二 (èr) or两 (liǎng). These characters cannot be used interchangeably so it's important to know when it is appropriate to use which form. Here is a guide to understanding which scenario calls for what kind of "two."  With Measure Words 兩 (liǎng) is used with measure words such as 个 (ge) or 本 (běn). For example: 两本书 (liǎng běn shū) – two books However, if a measure word is used in conjunction with numbers ending in two, like 22, 102, 542, the 二 (èr) form is used. For instance: 二十二个人 (èr shí èr ge rén) – twenty-two people 一百零二本书 (yī bǎi líng èr běn shū) – one-hundred and two books Some numbers will include both kinds of "two." For instance: 两千两百零二 (liǎng qiān liǎng bǎi líng èr) – two-thousand two-hundred and two Counting Numbers 二 (èr) is used when counting without measure words. For example: 一, 二, 三 (yī, èr, sān) – one, two, three 十，十一， 十二 (shí, shí yī, shí èr) – ten, eleven, twelve 二十，二十二，二十三 (èr shí, èr shí èr, èr shí sān) – twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two Counting Measure Word Numbers Some numbers are also used as measure words. For example, 百 (bǎi), 千 (qiān), 万 (wàn) are measure word numbers. Respectively, the characters mean a hundred, thousand, and ten thousand. In those cases, numbers like two-hundred, two-thousand, and twenty-thousand take the 两 (liǎng) form: 两百 (liǎng bǎi) - 200 两千 (liǎng qiān) - 2,000 两万 (liǎng wàn) - 20,000 # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language   # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students  # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟   Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ，200 teachers ，more 10000 students，200+companies  |
