Measure Word Finder
In Chinese a number needs a measure word before the noun: 一本书 (a book), 一张纸 (a sheet of paper). Type a noun to find the right one.
一辆车
yí liàng chē
辆 liàng — vehicles with wheels: cars, bikes, buses
Say it
Use 两, not 二, before a measure word. 这 (this), 那 (that) and 几 (how many) need one too.
