How to Count Numbers in Chinese

The Chinese counting system is fairly logical, and while it does have some special parts, once you learn it, you will know how to count in Chinese.

Mandarin/Chinese number has two units that English doesn’t have:
万(wàn,ten thousand) and亿 (yì, hundred million). For example:

16,000 in English reads “sixteen thousand”, Split it the Chinese way, “1,6000,” and the Chinese reading “一万六千” (yí wàn liùqiān).
