「廿」
Entry #2 | |
Pronunciation: | a6 jaa6 |
Part of Speech: | number |
Explanation: |
Used as the connection between the tens digit and the ones digit (only if the number is greater than 40). For the numbers between 31 and 39, '卅' is used instead. Due to elision, when it is used as the connection between the tens digit and the ones digit, the initial consonant sound disappears, which sounds like "aa6" instead of "jaa6". For example, 87, /baat3 jaa6 cat1/ becomes /baa3-aa6 cat1/.
