00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Standard Chinese, a modular approach, Numbers Resource Module, Tape 6.

00:07.000 --> 00:13.000
On this tape, you'll learn the numbers from 1,000 to 99,999.

00:13.000 --> 00:16.000
You'll also learn how to form addresses.

00:16.000 --> 00:22.000
Turn to display one in your workbook and listen to the speaker say the numbers.

00:22.000 --> 00:38.000
一千,兩千,三千,四千,五千,六千,七千,八千,九千.

00:38.000 --> 00:52.000
Notice that the high tone of E changes to falling tone before the high tone of 10.Repeat 1,000.

00:52.000 --> 01:18.000
Notice that the word for two is 兩千,兩千.Repeat 3,000,4,000,5,000.

01:18.000 --> 01:23.000
Repeat 6,000,7,000,8,000,9,000.

01:23.000 --> 01:39.000
六千,七千,八千,九千.

01:39.000 --> 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.

02:08.000 --> 02:12.000
一千.

02:12.000 --> 02:17.000
Numbers over 1,000 are formed in the same way as the numbers you've already learned.

02:17.000 --> 02:25.000
Take a look at display two.Repeat the first number after the speaker,1,246.

02:25.000 --> 02:34.000
一千,兩百,四十六.

02:34.000 --> 02:50.000
Repeat the second number,3,575.

02:50.000 --> 03:06.000
Now the third number,6,750.

03:06.000 --> 03:11.000
Since these higher numbers are so regularly formed, try producing some yourself.

03:11.000 --> 03:14.000
Turn to exercise one.

03:14.000 --> 03:20.000
Try saying the number ahead of the speaker and then repeat the confirmation.

03:20.000 --> 03:26.000
Number one.

03:26.000 --> 03:34.000
五千,五百,五十五.

03:34.000 --> 03:46.000
Number two.

03:46.000 --> 03:50.000
Number three.

03:50.000 --> 03:57.000
一千,兩百.

03:57.000 --> 04:08.000
六千,四百,五十五.

04:08.000 --> 04:13.000
Number five.

04:13.000 --> 04:22.000
兩千,八百,九十九.

04:22.000 --> 04:28.000
Number six.

04:28.000 --> 04:43.000
七千,一百,三十一.

04:43.000 --> 04:49.000
Number seven.

04:49.000 --> 04:55.000
四千,兩百,五十六.

04:55.000 --> 05:02.000
Number eight.

05:02.000 --> 05:08.000
九千,七百,四十二.

05:08.000 --> 05:14.000
Number nine.

05:14.000 --> 05:22.000
八千,三百,二十九.

05:22.000 --> 05:27.000
Number ten.

05:27.000 --> 05:34.000
两千,九百,七十四.

05:34.000 --> 05:40.000
The rules you learned performing numbers over one hundred also hold true for forming numbers over one thousand.

05:40.000 --> 05:46.000
For instance, you still must insert a one,e, before the ten for forming ten numbers.

05:46.000 --> 05:50.000
Repeat five thousand five hundred fifteen.

05:50.000 --> 06:01.000
五千,五百,一十五.

06:01.000 --> 06:16.000
Repeat five thousand five hundred twelve.

06:16.000 --> 06:33.000
Repeat five thousand five hundred eleven.

06:33.000 --> 06:35.000
Now try exercise two.

06:35.000 --> 06:39.000
Read each number ahead of the speaker and repeat the confirmations.

06:39.000 --> 06:45.000
Number one.

06:45.000 --> 06:49.000
一千,一百,一十一.

06:49.000 --> 06:54.000
Number two.

06:54.000 --> 06:59.000
七千,一百,一十七.

06:59.000 --> 07:05.000
Number three.

07:05.000 --> 07:11.000
两千,两百,一十.

07:11.000 --> 07:17.000
Number four.

07:17.000 --> 07:23.000
六千,六百,一十六.

07:23.000 --> 07:30.000
Number five.

07:30.000 --> 07:35.000
四千,九百,一十二.

07:35.000 --> 07:40.000
Number six.

07:40.000 --> 07:46.000
九千,一百,一十五.

07:46.000 --> 07:51.000
Number seven.

07:51.000 --> 07:56.000
三千,八百,一十三.

07:56.000 --> 08:01.000
Number eight.

08:01.000 --> 08:08.000
五千,四百,一十九.

08:08.000 --> 08:14.000
However, the rule for the use of zero, 零, is altered slightly for numbers over one thousand.

08:14.000 --> 08:17.000
The word 零 can stand for more than one place.

08:17.000 --> 08:19.000
Look at display three.

08:19.000 --> 08:26.000
Listen to the speaker say the numbers in column one.

08:26.000 --> 08:37.000
一千零一,两千零二,六千零五,七千零七.

08:37.000 --> 08:41.000
九千零九.

08:41.000 --> 08:44.000
Repeat one thousand one.

08:44.000 --> 08:50.000
一千零一,一千零一.

08:50.000 --> 08:54.000
Repeat two thousand two.

08:54.000 --> 09:01.000
两千零二,两千零二.

09:01.000 --> 09:06.000
How would you say six thousand five?

09:06.000 --> 09:13.000
六千零五.

09:13.000 --> 09:19.000
How do you say seven thousand seven?

09:19.000 --> 09:24.000
七千零七.

09:24.000 --> 09:30.000
You might be thinking that if 零 can stand for more than one place, there might be room for misunderstanding.

09:30.000 --> 09:35.000
But listen to the speaker read all the numbers in display three.

09:35.000 --> 09:46.000
一千零一,一千一百零一.

09:46.000 --> 09:59.000
两千零二,两千两百零二.

09:59.000 --> 10:05.000
六千零五.

10:05.000 --> 10:12.000
六千六百零五.

10:12.000 --> 10:18.000
七千零七.

10:18.000 --> 10:24.000
七千七百零七.

10:24.000 --> 10:30.000
九千零九.

10:30.000 --> 10:34.000
九千九百零九.

10:34.000 --> 10:42.000
Using 零 for one or more places is similar to our use of ant as in one thousand and one.

10:42.000 --> 10:44.000
Now turn to exercise three.

10:44.000 --> 10:47.000
Exercise three, the dictation exercise.

10:47.000 --> 10:49.000
Write down the numbers you hear.

10:49.000 --> 10:58.000
Number one,一千零一,一千零一.

10:58.000 --> 11:09.000
Number two,一千一百零一.

11:09.000 --> 11:17.000
Number three,六千五百零五.

11:17.000 --> 11:21.000
四千五百零五.

11:21.000 --> 11:27.000
Number four,七千零一.

11:27.000 --> 11:31.000
七千零一.

11:31.000 --> 11:41.000
Number five,八千八百一十.

11:41.000 --> 11:51.000
Number six,四千零八.

11:51.000 --> 12:01.000
Number seven,九千六百一十六.

12:01.000 --> 12:05.000
九千六百一十六.

12:05.000 --> 12:17.000
Number eight,三千四百零三.

12:17.000 --> 12:29.000
Number nine,五千五百零一.

12:29.000 --> 12:34.000
Number ten,六千零六.

12:34.000 --> 12:41.000
六千零六.

12:41.000 --> 12:45.000
The answers to exercise three are in your workbook.

12:45.000 --> 12:48.000
Now look at exercise four.

12:48.000 --> 12:51.000
Exercise four gives you a chance to say some numbers.

12:51.000 --> 12:56.000
For each item, say the number ahead of the speaker and then repeat the confirmation.

12:56.000 --> 13:03.000
Number one,八千六百四十二.

13:03.000 --> 13:12.000
Number two,一千兩百零二.

13:12.000 --> 13:20.000
Number three,四千零七.

13:20.000 --> 13:28.000
Number four,六千五百.

13:28.000 --> 13:38.000
Number five,七千兩百一十二.

13:38.000 --> 13:47.000
Number six,三千四百一十.

13:47.000 --> 13:56.000
Number seven,九千七百零四.

13:56.000 --> 14:10.000
Number eight,兩千零二.

14:10.000 --> 14:20.000
Number nine,五千三百三十.

14:20.000 --> 14:30.000
Number ten,两千二百二十二.

14:30.000 --> 14:32.000
Did you notice the last answer?

14:32.000 --> 14:37.000
Many speakers do not like using the number liang too many times in succession.

14:37.000 --> 14:42.000
Therefore, they switch from liang to r after the first digit.

14:42.000 --> 14:47.000
You'll hear this often in speech and we'll be using it for the rest of the tape.

14:47.000 --> 14:51.000
Now take a look at display four, which shows numbers in the ten thousands.

14:51.000 --> 14:53.000
Listen to the speaker say them.

14:53.000 --> 15:08.000
一万,两万,三万,四万,五万,六万,七万,八万,九万.

15:08.000 --> 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.

15:17.000 --> 15:21.000
Repeat ten thousand, literally one ten thousand.

15:21.000 --> 15:26.000
一万,一万.

15:26.000 --> 15:30.000
You'll notice that the number two is again liang.

15:30.000 --> 15:33.000
Repeat twenty thousand or two ten thousand.

15:33.000 --> 15:38.000
两万,两万.

15:38.000 --> 15:43.000
Repeat thirty thousand, forty thousand, fifty thousand.

15:43.000 --> 15:49.000
三万,四万,五万.

15:49.000 --> 15:54.000
三万,四万,五万.

15:54.000 --> 15:58.000
How would you say sixty thousand?

15:58.000 --> 16:01.000
六万.

16:01.000 --> 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.

16:09.000 --> 16:13.000
Repeat seventy thousand, eighty thousand.

16:13.000 --> 16:16.000
七万,八万.

16:16.000 --> 16:20.000
七万,八万.

16:20.000 --> 16:24.000
How would you say ninety thousand?

16:24.000 --> 16:28.000
九万.

16:28.000 --> 16:33.000
As you can see from display four, something unusual happens with numbers in ten thousand.

16:33.000 --> 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.

16:42.000 --> 16:48.000
Other than learning where to put the commas, you need to learn no new rules for forming numbers over ten thousand.

16:48.000 --> 16:50.000
Try your hand at understanding some.

16:50.000 --> 16:56.000
Turn to exercise five in your workbook, which is a dictation exercise, and take down the numbers you hear.

16:56.000 --> 16:59.000
Remembering the no rule about commas.

16:59.000 --> 17:01.000
Let's start.

17:01.000 --> 17:03.000
Number one.

17:03.000 --> 17:10.000
一万一千一百一十一.

17:10.000 --> 17:16.000
一万一千一百一十一.

17:16.000 --> 17:18.000
Number two.

17:18.000 --> 17:25.000
五万二千五百二十.

17:25.000 --> 17:30.000
五万二千五百二十.

17:30.000 --> 17:33.000
Number three.

17:33.000 --> 17:41.000
七万八千二百三十四.

17:41.000 --> 17:48.000
七万八千二百三十四.

17:48.000 --> 17:50.000
Number four.

17:50.000 --> 17:59.000
九万二千四百六十七.

17:59.000 --> 18:07.000
九万二千四百六十七.

18:07.000 --> 18:09.000
Number four.

18:09.000 --> 18:18.000
四万五千七百三十八.

18:18.000 --> 18:25.000
四万五千七百三十八.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
Number six.

18:27.000 --> 18:37.000
八万五千二百一十五.

18:37.000 --> 18:43.000
八万五千二百一十五.

18:43.000 --> 18:45.000
Number seven.

18:45.000 --> 19:01.000
两万三千三百一十.

19:01.000 --> 19:03.000
Number eight.

19:03.000 --> 19:11.000
六万七千四百九十.

19:11.000 --> 19:18.000
六万七千四百九十.

19:18.000 --> 19:20.000
Number nine.

19:20.000 --> 19:28.000
三万四千八百四十三.

19:28.000 --> 19:34.000
三万四千八百四十三.

19:34.000 --> 19:36.000
Number ten.

19:36.000 --> 19:45.000
两万九千六百七十二.

19:45.000 --> 19:54.000
两万九千六百七十二.

19:54.000 --> 19:59.000
The answers to this exercise are in your workbook.

19:59.000 --> 20:01.000
Now look at exercise six.

20:01.000 --> 20:05.000
Exercise six will give you some practice in saying these higher numbers.

20:05.000 --> 20:09.000
For each item,say the number aloud ahead of the speaker.

20:09.000 --> 20:11.000
Then repeat the confirmation.

20:11.000 --> 20:15.000
Notice that 两 is used with the first digit.

20:15.000 --> 20:19.000
After that,either 两 or r can be used.

20:19.000 --> 20:26.000
Number one.

20:26.000 --> 20:34.000
八万二千一百三十九.

20:34.000 --> 20:41.000
Number two.

20:41.000 --> 20:50.000
四万五千三百六十五.

20:50.000 --> 20:56.000
Number three.

20:56.000 --> 21:03.000
两万一千五百四十.

21:03.000 --> 21:10.000
Number four.

21:10.000 --> 21:18.000
六万九千二百一十一.

21:18.000 --> 21:25.000
Number five.

21:25.000 --> 21:32.000
九万三千五百三十七.

21:32.000 --> 21:38.000
Number six.

21:38.000 --> 21:45.000
一万四千六百一十.

21:45.000 --> 21:52.000
Number seven.

21:52.000 --> 22:00.000
五万七千四百四十二.

22:00.000 --> 22:08.000
Number eight.

22:08.000 --> 22:16.000
三万八千七百九十三.

22:16.000 --> 22:23.000
Number nine.

22:23.000 --> 22:33.000
七万六千八百一十八.

22:33.000 --> 22:40.000
Number ten.

22:40.000 --> 22:49.000
两万八千九百五十四.

22:49.000 --> 22:53.000
Now let's take a look at what happens with 零 in these higher numbers.

22:53.000 --> 22:56.000
Take a look at display five.

22:56.000 --> 22:58.000
Listen to the speaker read the numbers out loud.

22:58.000 --> 23:01.000
First column one.

23:01.000 --> 23:06.000
一万零一.

23:06.000 --> 23:11.000
一万零一十一.

23:11.000 --> 23:16.000
一万零一百一十一.

23:16.000 --> 23:18.000
Now column two.

23:18.000 --> 23:22.000
一万零一.

23:22.000 --> 23:27.000
一万一千零一.

23:27.000 --> 23:33.000
一万一千一百零一.

23:33.000 --> 23:34.000
Now you try it.

23:34.000 --> 23:42.000
Read the numbers in column one, one by one, ahead of the speaker.

23:42.000 --> 23:50.000
一万零一.

23:50.000 --> 24:00.000
一万零一十一.

24:00.000 --> 24:06.000
一万零一百一十一.

24:06.000 --> 24:11.000
As you can see, 零 can stand for one, two, or three places.

24:11.000 --> 24:13.000
Now I call them two now.

24:13.000 --> 24:19.000
Say the numbers out loud one by one, ahead of the speaker.

24:19.000 --> 24:25.000
一万零一.

24:25.000 --> 24:34.000
一万一千零一.

24:34.000 --> 24:40.000
一万一千一百零一.

24:40.000 --> 24:43.000
Exercise seven is a dictation exercise.

24:43.000 --> 24:46.000
Test your understanding of these numbers, write down what you hear.

24:46.000 --> 24:48.000
Number one.

24:48.000 --> 24:52.000
两万零一.

24:52.000 --> 24:56.000
两万零一.

24:56.000 --> 24:58.000
Number two.

24:58.000 --> 25:07.000
四万零一十.

25:07.000 --> 25:09.000
Number three.

25:09.000 --> 25:19.000
三万三千零一.

25:19.000 --> 25:21.000
Number four.

25:21.000 --> 25:27.000
七万零六百零一.

25:27.000 --> 25:32.000
七万零六百零一.

25:32.000 --> 25:42.000
四万九万八千零一十五.
