1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach, Numbers Resource Module, Tape 6.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
On this tape, you'll learn the numbers from 1,000 to 99,999.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
You'll also learn how to form addresses.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Turn to display one in your workbook and listen to the speaker say the numbers.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:38,000
一千,兩千,三千,四千,五千,六千,七千,八千,九千.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Notice that the high tone of E changes to falling tone before the high tone of 10.Repeat 1,000.

7
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Notice that the word for two is 兩千,兩千.Repeat 3,000,4,000,5,000.

8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Repeat 6,000,7,000,8,000,9,000.

9
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:39,000
六千,七千,八千,九千.

10
00:01:39,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Try putting the following numbers into Chinese. 7,000,7,000,2,000,2,000,5,000,5,000,9,000,4,000,4,000,1,000.

11
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
一千.

12
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Numbers over 1,000 are formed in the same way as the numbers you've already learned.

13
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Take a look at display two.Repeat the first number after the speaker,1,246.

14
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:34,000
一千,兩百,四十六.

15
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Repeat the second number,3,575.

16
00:02:50,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Now the third number,6,750.

17
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Since these higher numbers are so regularly formed, try producing some yourself.

18
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Turn to exercise one.

19
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Try saying the number ahead of the speaker and then repeat the confirmation.

20
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Number one.

21
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:34,000
五千,五百,五十五.

22
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Number two.

23
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Number three.

24
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
一千,兩百.

25
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:08,000
六千,四百,五十五.

26
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Number five.

27
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:22,000
兩千,八百,九十九.

28
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Number six.

29
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:43,000
七千,一百,三十一.

30
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Number seven.

31
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
四千,兩百,五十六.

32
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Number eight.

33
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
九千,七百,四十二.

34
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Number nine.

35
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,000
八千,三百,二十九.

36
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Number ten.

37
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,000
两千,九百,七十四.

38
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
The rules you learned performing numbers over one hundred also hold true for forming numbers over one thousand.

39
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
For instance, you still must insert a one,e, before the ten for forming ten numbers.

40
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Repeat five thousand five hundred fifteen.

41
00:05:50,000 --> 00:06:01,000
五千,五百,一十五.

42
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Repeat five thousand five hundred twelve.

43
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Repeat five thousand five hundred eleven.

44
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Now try exercise two.

45
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Read each number ahead of the speaker and repeat the confirmations.

46
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Number one.

47
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
一千,一百,一十一.

48
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Number two.

49
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
七千,一百,一十七.

50
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Number three.

51
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
两千,两百,一十.

52
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Number four.

53
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000
六千,六百,一十六.

54
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Number five.

55
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
四千,九百,一十二.

56
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Number six.

57
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:46,000
九千,一百,一十五.

58
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Number seven.

59
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
三千,八百,一十三.

60
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Number eight.

61
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000
五千,四百,一十九.

62
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,000
However, the rule for the use of zero, 零, is altered slightly for numbers over one thousand.

63
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
The word 零 can stand for more than one place.

64
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Look at display three.

65
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Listen to the speaker say the numbers in column one.

66
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:37,000
一千零一,两千零二,六千零五,七千零七.

67
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
九千零九.

68
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Repeat one thousand one.

69
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
一千零一,一千零一.

70
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Repeat two thousand two.

71
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
两千零二,两千零二.

72
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
How would you say six thousand five?

73
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:13,000
六千零五.

74
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,000
How do you say seven thousand seven?

75
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
七千零七.

76
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You might be thinking that if 零 can stand for more than one place, there might be room for misunderstanding.

77
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000
But listen to the speaker read all the numbers in display three.

78
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:46,000
一千零一,一千一百零一.

79
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:59,000
两千零二,两千两百零二.

80
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
六千零五.

81
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
六千六百零五.

82
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
七千零七.

83
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000
七千七百零七.

84
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000
九千零九.

85
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
九千九百零九.

86
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Using 零 for one or more places is similar to our use of ant as in one thousand and one.

87
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Now turn to exercise three.

88
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Exercise three, the dictation exercise.

89
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Write down the numbers you hear.

90
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Number one,一千零一,一千零一.

91
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Number two,一千一百零一.

92
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Number three,六千五百零五.

93
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
四千五百零五.

94
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Number four,七千零一.

95
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
七千零一.

96
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Number five,八千八百一十.

97
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Number six,四千零八.

98
00:11:51,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Number seven,九千六百一十六.

99
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
九千六百一十六.

100
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Number eight,三千四百零三.

101
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Number nine,五千五百零一.

102
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Number ten,六千零六.

103
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
六千零六.

104
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The answers to exercise three are in your workbook.

105
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Now look at exercise four.

106
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Exercise four gives you a chance to say some numbers.

107
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
For each item, say the number ahead of the speaker and then repeat the confirmation.

108
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Number one,八千六百四十二.

109
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Number two,一千兩百零二.

110
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Number three,四千零七.

111
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Number four,六千五百.

112
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Number five,七千兩百一十二.

113
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Number six,三千四百一十.

114
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Number seven,九千七百零四.

115
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Number eight,兩千零二.

116
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Number nine,五千三百三十.

117
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Number ten,两千二百二十二.

118
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Did you notice the last answer?

119
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Many speakers do not like using the number liang too many times in succession.

120
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Therefore, they switch from liang to r after the first digit.

121
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,000
You'll hear this often in speech and we'll be using it for the rest of the tape.

122
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Now take a look at display four, which shows numbers in the ten thousands.

123
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Listen to the speaker say them.

124
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:08,000
一万,两万,三万,四万,五万,六万,七万,八万,九万.

125
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Notice that the numbers 一,七,八, change from high tone to rising tone before the falling tone of one, the word for ten thousand.

126
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Repeat ten thousand, literally one ten thousand.

127
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,000
一万,一万.

128
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
You'll notice that the number two is again liang.

129
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Repeat twenty thousand or two ten thousand.

130
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
两万,两万.

131
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Repeat thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand.

132
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
三万,四万,五万.

133
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
三万,四万,五万.

134
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000
How would you say sixty thousand?

135
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
六万.

136
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:09,000
As you remember, the high tone of number seven,七, and number eight, 八, change to rising tone before a falling tone.

137
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Repeat seventy thousand, eighty thousand.

138
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
七万,八万.

139
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
七万,八万.

140
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
How would you say ninety thousand?

141
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
九万.

142
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
As you can see from display four, something unusual happens with numbers in ten thousand.

143
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:42,000
While the western system of numbers puts a comma every three digits, the Chinese system of numbers puts the comma every four digits.

144
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Other than learning where to put the commas, you need to learn no new rules for forming numbers over ten thousand.

145
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Try your hand at understanding some.

146
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Turn to exercise five in your workbook, which is a dictation exercise, and take down the numbers you hear.

147
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Remembering the no rule about commas.

148
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Let's start.

149
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Number one.

150
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
一万一千一百一十一.

151
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
一万一千一百一十一.

152
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Number two.

153
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,000
五万二千五百二十.

154
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
五万二千五百二十.

155
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Number three.

156
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:41,000
七万八千二百三十四.

157
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,000
七万八千二百三十四.

158
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Number four.

159
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,000
九万二千四百六十七.

160
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,000
九万二千四百六十七.

161
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Number four.

162
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:18,000
四万五千七百三十八.

163
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:25,000
四万五千七百三十八.

164
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Number six.

165
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:37,000
八万五千二百一十五.

166
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
八万五千二百一十五.

167
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Number seven.

168
00:18:45,000 --> 00:19:01,000
两万三千三百一十.

169
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Number eight.

170
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:11,000
六万七千四百九十.

171
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,000
六万七千四百九十.

172
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Number nine.

173
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
三万四千八百四十三.

174
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
三万四千八百四十三.

175
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Number ten.

176
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:45,000
两万九千六百七十二.

177
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:54,000

178
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
The answers to this exercise are in your workbook.

179
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Now look at exercise six.

180
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Exercise six will give you some practice in saying these higher numbers.

181
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
For each item,say the number aloud ahead of the speaker.

182
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Then repeat the confirmation.

183
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Notice that 两 is used with the first digit.

184
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
After that,either 两 or r can be used.

185
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:26,000

两万八千九百五十四.

205
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Now let's take a look at what happens with 零 in these higher numbers.

206
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Take a look at display five.

207
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Listen to the speaker read the numbers out loud.

208
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
First column one.
