Before introduct your age, you should learn numbers in Chinese first.
Let's go...
Note: What we used here are sampled Chinese
characters.
Chinese numbers is quite simple...
You only have to memorize 1~10.
Then you can do 11, 12, 20, 21, 30, 40, 50, and so on...
For example,
Yi = 1
Er = 2
San = 3
Shi = 10
And...
11 = 10 +1 = Shi Yi
12 = 10 + 2 = Shi Er
13 = 10 + 3 = Shi San
20 = 2 * 10 = Er Shi
30 = 3 * 10 = San Shi
Simple, Right?
Are you ready for talking about your age?
Let's go...
The sample sentence goes like "Wo _______ Sui"
Just put your age into the blank~
For example,
I am 20 = Wo 20(Er Shi) Sui
I am 30 = Wo 30(San Shi) Sui
So... How old are you? 你几岁呢?(nǐ jǐ suì ne)
