Hello chinese people
July 11th, 2009 by dee dee
in chinese ( i take canto for example) we count like this.
yat, yee, sam, sei, bla bla bla
okay?
but then why only for number 2 (yee/er) we have to say ‘leong/ liang’ when we wanna pick two things etc. why not yee? since other numbers we use the same word as the basic number. why must they modify the two for other usage but not modifying the others?
get it?
so why?
