S: And we’ll have to pay the taxi fare. Guess we’ll have to learn a few more numbers. We’ll learn some now, and more in the bar later, when we work out the prices of drinks.

S: Du\u014dsh\u01ceo. Du\u014dsh\u01ceo is ‘how many’, or ‘how much’. Qián QIAN qián, is ‘money’. How much? How much money? Du\u014dsh\u01ceo qian? Here they are again

S: Now, listen carefully, repeat everything, and guess what \u4e03\u5341 q\u012bshí and qi shi kuai mean. A clue – q\u012b shí kuai is less than 100 \u5143, and a yuán is a Chinese dollar. ML’s counting out the money.

TD: Xièxiè. \u6b63\u597d. Zhèng h\u01ceo.
S: So what does q\u012b shí mean? Right, seventy. Literally, ‘seven’ ‘ten’. Manli counted in tens from ten to seventy.

S: Now for the last few words.

S: Kuài  KUAI kuai, here means Chinese dollar, or yuán. ‘Give you seventy yuan’
M: G\u011bi n\u01d0 q\u012b shí kuài.
TD: Xièxiè. \u6b63\u597d. Zhèng h\u01ceo.
