Chinese Numbers 1-100 | Chinese Language Blog (2024)

After much demand, I’ve finally put together a table with the Chinese numbers from 1-100. I’m sure you’ll notice a trend in how you form numbers from 11-99. See if you can figure it out on your own. I even went ahead and threw in the number zero for no extra charge!

When learning how to count in Chinese, it’s also useful to learn the hand signals for the numbers 1-10. Obviously, 1-5 are pretty much the same as anywhere, but China has a unique way of counting from 6-10:

   Hello! I am still writing the numbers. But this will help me too get a good grade in Chinese class. Even if I have and A+ in the class already, I still want a good grade. Thank-You so much. I will definitely suggest this website to anyone who wants to learn the Chinese numbers 1-100 and maybe even higher! And I will definitely show to my class on Monday, when I have Chinese during Period A2!

    I want to thank you very much for this piece of information. Its very easy to understand, one could easily jump at writing 1-99 once you know 1-10 and 20,30 ,40 up to 90. I just wrote my phone number in Chinese.

      @hulnheb I’m trying to learn Chinese but my problem is some of the words are difficult to pronounce especially when “/,\,^,-” are used above a word and writing the characters also.

        @Tamukong Vitalis Shu Those marks actually help you know if your voice should rise, fall, stay high, or do a low curve down and up… Just follow the direction the marks go.
