Word usage
- Note1. "两" is different from "二". 1) Use "二" instead of "两" when read as a number or in mathematics, . 2) Use "二" instead of "两" in ordinal numbers, decimals, and fractions. 3) Before general quantifiers, use "两" instead of "二" for single digits, and use "二" instead of "两" for single digits in multiple digits. 4) Both "二" and "两" are available before the traditional unit of weight and measurement, but it is a special case that "二" is used instead of "两" before the mass unit "两". 5) Among multiple digits, "二" is used for hundreds, tens, and ones digits, and "两" is used for more than a thousand digits, but "二" is used for hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands after the first. 2. "两" is different from "俩". "俩" is a consonant of "两个" , and no "个" or quantifier can be added after it.
