Numbers 6-10
Complete counting from six to ten
Now you complete the set, learning 六 (luk6) up to 十 (sap6). With these five added to the first lesson you can count all the way to ten, which is enough for prices, quantities, and phone numbers. Each word comes with audio so the trickier tones, like 八 (baat3), settle quickly.
What you'll learn
- Say “six” with 六 (luk6)
- Say “seven” with 七 (cat1)
- Say “eight” with 八 (baat3)
- Say “nine” with 九 (gau2)
- Reach “ten” with 十 (sap6)
- Count smoothly all the way from one to ten
Great progress! Let's continue with numbers 6 to 10. After this lesson, you'll be able to count to ten in Cantonese!
