Do you know how to express one year or one meter in Chinese?

If you do not know, you areit is strongly recommended (or: I strongly recommended to watch) that you read this article and explore more about the indefinite classifier and measure units.

When we want to express indefinite quantities (in a sentence.), we often…

Merge this with the next sentence.

Is “in a sentence” necessary? I mean, do you only use 些 in sentences, or use something else in short phrases / sentence fragments?

W…we often use 些 to replace the original classifiers.

Only the number one 一, “一,” can be added before this indefinite classifier.

一支笔 A pen 一些笔 Some pens 二些笔 (wrong expressionincorrect)

“Wrong expression” sounds like “this expression is wrong for this context,” not “this expression is not valid (in any context).”

When there is a determiner like 這 (this/these) and 那 (these/those), which are used before nouns to refer to particular things or people.,…

Add a space before each left parenthesis mark (after 這 and 那).

Merge this incomplete sentence with the next sentence.

T…the pattern should be “這/那 + Number些 + Noun”.

“Number” doesn’t sound quite right to me. I mean “這/那 + Number + Noun” would be like “這三書”, which isn’t right. If you want to describe both the classifier and 些, I suppose you could write “這/那 + Number + Classifier/些 + Noun”, but that’s pretty complicated. Technically, I suppose it’s really “這/那 + (Number + Classifier)/些 + Noun”, but that’s REALLY confusing. 😕

It should be noted that W, when there is a determiner before 些 (some), the number 一“一” before 些 will be omitted.

I suggest putting quotation marks around “一” (the Chinese character for “one”) to distinguish it from the em-dash (—).

For example, we can say 這一支笔 (this one pen) and 這些笔 (these pens), but we rarely say 這一些筆 (these pens ), h. Here are more examples below:

厘米 Centimeter 兩厘米寬 Two-centimeter wide / Two centimeters wide

In what contexts do you use 公分 instead of 釐米?

毫米 Millimeter 五毫米高 Five-millimeter high / Five millimeters high

千米 Kilometer 兩千米高的山 TA two -thousand -meters high mountain

Do you ever use 公里 instead of 千米?

In English, “kilometer” isn’t interchangeable with “thousand meters”—they are considered different units of measurement—so you should use a different example for “kilometer.”

立方厘米 Cubic centimeter 八十立方厘米 Eighty cubic centimeters

毫升 Milliliter 六毫升酒 Six milliliters of wine

INDEFINITE CLASSIFIERS

When we want to express indefinite quantities in a sentence.

Should be combined with the next sentence.

Only the number 'one 一' can be added before this indefinite classifier.

Here are some examples:

Correct but I would use 'below are some examples'

When there is a determiner like 這(this/these) and 那(these/those), which are used before nouns to refer to particular things or people., <combine with next sentence>

It should be noted that Wwhen there is a determiner before 些 (some), the number 一 before 些 will be omitted.
