Y: Perfect Chinese your way, in o<\/em>nly five minutes a day. Hi, everyone, glad to have you with us again on Chinese Studio. I’m Yajie.
C: Good morning, I’m Cam. Last time we learned some numbers. 0 líng, 1 y\u012b, 2 èr, 3 s\u0101n, 4 sì, 5 w\u01d4, and what’s the topic this time? <\/span>
Y: Today will learn the remaining numbers! Let’s check the Key words of the day! <\/span>
*****************Key words of the day
This time we’ll learn five more numbers, and they are: 6 7 8 9 10. All in today’s Chinese Studio.
****************<\/p>\n

C: Yajie, how do you say 6 and 7 in Chinese?
Y: 6 is liù, forth tone, liù. And 7 is q\u012b, first tone. (starting to imitate the sound sent by a pan when the food’s boiling. ) <\/span>
C: liù, q\u012b.
Y: Right, for example, you can say “\u516d\u672c\u4e66” or “\u4e03\u672c\u4e66”\u3002B\u011bn is a measure word for books, and sh\u016b means book. So “\u516d\u672c\u4e66” “\u4e03\u672c\u4e66”
C: \u516d\u672c\u4e66 \u4e03\u672c\u4e66\u3002<\/p>\n

C: Good, then what’s 8 and 9 in Chinese?
Y: 8 is b\u0101. And 9 is ji\u01d4, third tone. b\u0101 , ji\u01d4.
C: b\u0101, ji\u01d4.  And what happens if we put these two the other way around, as in, jiu ba?
Y: That means bar!  It’s a totally different word! <\/span>
C:  I will have to remember that!
Y:  And you might go to the bar at 8 o’clock or 9 o’clock. \u516b\u70b9\uff0c\u4e5d\u70b9\u3002Di\u01cen means o’clock. \u516b\u70b9\uff0ceight o’clock \u4e5d\u70b9 nine o’clock\u3002
C: \u516b\u70b9\uff0c\u4e5d\u70b9\uff0e<\/p>\n

C: OK, we have o<\/em>nly 10 left. What’s 10?
Y: 10 is shí, second tone. Shí.
C: shí.
Y: Yeah, then how do you say “10 books” and “10 o’clock” in Chinese?
C: I see. It’s “\u5341\u672c\u4e66” and  “\u5341\u70b9”.
Y: Right, “\u5341\u672c\u4e66”  “ \u5341\u70b9 ”.<\/p>\n

****************Key words reminder
6 7 8 9 10\uff0c\u516d\u672c\u4e66\uff0c \u4e03\u672c\u4e66\uff0c\u516b\u70b9\uff0c\u5341\u70b9\u3002

Y: Now let’s review.  Today we learned how to say another five more numbers in Chinese. And they are 6 7 8 9 10 (liù q\u012b b\u0101 ji\u01d4 shí). <\/span>
C: 6 7 8…(liù q\u012b b\u0101). Sorry, I can’t follow you. 6 (liù) is six, and 7(q\u012b) is seven, 8 (b\u0101) is eight.  How do you say nine and ten again?
Y: nine is 9 (ji\u01d4) in Chinese. 9 (ji\u01d4). <\/span>
C: 9 (ji\u01d4).
Y: And ten is 10 (shí).  The second tone, 10 (shí).
C: 10 (shí).
Y: Right. We also learned some phrases. How do you say six books?
C: Let me see. Is it\u516d\u672c\u4e66(liù b\u011bn sh\u016b)?
Y: Well done. It is \u516d\u672c\u4e66. Then how do you say eight o’clock?
C: It’s\u516b\u70b9(b\u0101 di\u01cen). \u70b9(di\u01cen) here means o’clock. <\/span>
Y: And nine o’clock is?
C: It’s\u4e5d\u70b9. (ji\u01d4 di\u01cen) <\/span>
Y: What a<\/em>bout ten o’clock?
C: Is it\u5341\u70b9 (shí di\u01cen)? <\/span>
Y: Yes. OK, that’s it for today. You can win a CRI gift by answering the question of the day: What time is it?
