Chinese grammar mistakes 9

 

When communicating in Chinese you may often make mistakes using Chinese grammar like:

False:

    这是五万零零零八块钱。(50008)

    Zhèshì wǔ wàn línɡ línɡ línɡ bá kuài qián

True:

    这是五万零八块钱。

    Zhèshì wǔ wàn línɡ bá kuài qián

在这个多位数目字当中,三个“零”并列,汉语的表示法是只读出一个零,即“五万零八块钱”,去掉后两个零。

In a big number with more than one “0” juxtaposed, only one is pronounced. The sentence should be read as 五万零八块钱.
