Ni hao Harmeet, numbers are very important, let me tell you the rules. Let’s first learn the vocabulary:

bǎi = hundred

qiān = thousand

líng = zero

For example:

yì bǎi = one hundred

yì bǎi wǔ shí = one hundred and fifty

yì bǎi líng bā = one hundred and eight

sān qiān = three thousand

sǎn qiān wǔ bǎi qī shí bā = three thousand five hundred and seventy eight

You can see the way to say 108 is defferent from english. In chinese we say “one hundred + zero + number” ming bai ma? So, how do you say 306?
