A number in excess of a certain amount is expressed by adding "多" (duō) to the end of a number. This is usually translated as "more than..." in English.

== Structure ==
Number + 多 + [Measure word] (+ Noun)
== Examples ==
* 我 妈妈 已经 五十 ''多'' 岁 了。Wǒ māma yǐjīng wǔshí ''duō'' suì le.My mother is over fifty. * 我们 走 了 两 个 ''多'' 小时 。Wǒmen zǒu le liǎng gè ''duō'' xiǎoshí.We have been walking for more than two hours. * 这个 班 有 两 百 ''多'' 个 学生 。Zhège bān yǒu liǎng bǎi ''duō'' gè xuéshēng.There are more than two hundred students in this class. * 这个 包 三 万 ''多'' 块钱 。Zhège bāo sān wàn ''duō'' kuài qián.This bag costs more than thirty thousand kuai. * 这 本 书 有 一 千 ''多'' 页 。Zhè běn shū yǒu yī qiān ''duō'' yè.This book has more than a thousand pages. * 他 在 国外 住 了 二十 ''多'' 年 了 。Tā zài guówài zhù le èrshí ''duō'' nián le.He has been living abroad for more than twenty years. * 他 在 那儿 住 了 二十 ''多'' 天 了 。Tā zài nàr zhù le èrshí ''duō'' tiān le.He's been staying there for over 20 days. * 我 昨天 收到 了 三十 ''多'' 条 垃圾 短信 。Wǒ zuótiān shōudào le sānshí ''duō'' tiáo lājī duǎnxìn.I received more than thirty spam text messages yesterday. * 这个 城市 有 两 千 ''多'' 年 的 历史 。Zhège chéngshì yǒu liǎng qiān ''duō'' nián de lìshǐ.This city has a history of more than two thousand years.
In the above examples, 岁, 年 and 天 do not take a measure word. When the number is smaller than eleven, the 多 can be put after the measure word. However, if the number is bigger than eleven, the 多 has to be put before the measure word:
* 五岁''多'' * 五十岁''多'' * 五十''多'' 岁 * 九十块钱''多'' * 九十''多'' 块 钱
