After a preliminary understanding of the Chinese numeral system, we can use them to express percentages, fractions, decimals, multiples, and discounts in Chinese. If you are unfamiliar with the Chinese numeral system, it is strongly recommended to go through this article “HOW TO COUNT NUMBERS IN CHINESE” (https://untanglechinese.com/how-to-count-numbers-in-chinese/) first.
FRACTIONS
The pattern of fractions is the same as the percentage： Denominator分之Numerator. Unlike English, we always say the denominators first and the numerators are expressed second.
Pattern: Denominator分之Numerator.
三分之一 1/3 One-third
三分之二 2/3 Two-thirds
四分之三 3/4 Three-quarters
十分之九 9/10 Nine-tenths
DECIMAL
The decimal point in Chinese is 点. The rule of expressing decimals in Chinese is like that in English.
Pattern: Number + 点 + Number
0.5 零点五 Zero point five
6.7 六点七 Six points seven
3.45 三点四五 Three point four five
77.706 七十七点七零六 Seventy-seven point seven zero six
MULTIPLES
We use 倍 to express multiples in Chinese.
Pattern: Number+倍
两倍 Double
四倍 Four times
十倍 Ten times
苹果的价钱是香蕉的两倍。
The price of apples is double the price of bananas.
DISCOUNTS
折扣 means discount. The Chinese expression for a 10% reduction in English is 10 off or a ten percent discount. In Chinese, we say 九折, which means ninety percent of the original price.
Pattern: Number+折
七折 A thirty percent discount
九五折 A five percent discount
Do you know how to say 15% off and 20% in Chinese?
