Chinese grammar mistakes 17

 

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

False:

    我有百多块钱。

    Wǒ yǒu bǎi duō kuài qián

True:

    我有一百多块钱。

    Wǒ yǒu yì bǎi duō kuài qián

 

用在动词后的数词一可以省去,单说量词(如,我买本书)。此句动词有后紧跟着的是由百和多构成的表示钱数的概数词组。一要说出来。

The numeral 一 after a verb is understood. One may only read out the measure word(such as 我买本书). In this sentence, the verb 有 is followed by a phrase with 百 and 多 to indicate an approximate sum of money. Thus 一 must be read out.
