E.g. 40 is four-ten and 49 is four-ten-nine. :)Sayeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431440367242063051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-8378506757566749172014-08-27T09:07:46.148+08:002014-08-27T09:07:46.148+08:00Soooo -- counting in Mandarin -- how rational is i...Soooo -- counting in Mandarin -- how rational is it? What do I mean?<br /><br />Think about English. You have to know one-ten, eleven, twelve. It is thirteen instead of threeteen; fifteen instead of fiveteen; you have to know twenty; thirty, not threety, fifty, not fivety; but then the patterns hold till hundred.<br /><br />Now think Hindi. We have funny things like "untees" and so on all over the place; only after you get to beyond 100 is there regularity.<br /><br />So what about Mandarin?Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451666670728177970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-34346890626610090192014-08-20T09:42:05.472+08:002014-08-20T09:42:05.472+08:00Nidhi,

However, that died soon after having 2 children.<br /><br />I still have the notes and the books of German learning. I really like that language. <br />Though, my fascination for Indian languages is much more, this is the first non-Indian language that I really want to learn to converse in, and teach my kids as well.<br /><br />Now, you have become the inspiration and I want to get back to my German books.Varshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299250233940117432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10064462.post-20832847981131994512014-08-08T02:24:30.087+08:002014-08-08T02:24:30.087+08:00Great!!!

The very fact that you juggle so many different things in your super busy life amazes and inspires me (I am a mother of a daughter who is turning 2 super soon...and many times I find giving myself excuses that I can't do certain things right now as I have to take care of my toddler!)Nidhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509733988747180490noreply@blogger.com
