Re: [lojban] Using Lojban in 'very' defined contexts (eg. maths)



This is how I understand Chinese numbers, too. However, years in Chinese are simply read as a sequence of numerals: 2000 = er ling ling ling. (Always sounds fun to me.)

Are you sure the Chinese system is like Lojban ?

From what I know of the chinese language, 523 is said :

5 100 2 10 3  in Chinese.

520 is said :

5 100 2 10

500 is said :

5 100

506 is said :

5 100 6  or if you want 5 100 0 10 6

And there are subdivisions by powers of 10000 (not 1000)
