^Chinese for 10, shi. Felt I should be fancy since there is a multilingual thing going on.

I enjoy the multilingual and makes this a bit more interesting. Though I'm trying to stay with the few numbers I actually know, which very soon will turn into only 2 languages XD Maybe I should learn new numbers

Shi er. Chinese is easy, learn the first 10 and you're set till 100 (bai), then you just learn one more character and your fine till a thousand (qian). After that it gets kind of weird because where they put the comma is different. Like we don't switch from thousand till we hit million, they switch to a new term at ten thousand (wan). Annnnd, after that I forget off the top of my head what happens. But yeah for the most part it is just stuff like 10 2 (Shi er) for 12, 3 10 4 (San Shi ci) for 34, 5 100 6 10 7 (Wu Bai Liu Shi Qi) for 567, and so on. Makes for some cute puns, like 8 = Ba, and Baba is father in Chinese, so August 8th if father's day. ... Well I found that cute when I learned about it. >_>;

Does anyone else imagine numbers with personalities? As a kid I did that for 0-10. They lived in their number kingdom where prince 8 and his sidekick 7 had adventures with the fair damsel 6 who for some reason stayed friends with bitchy gossiping 5. ... I think I'm beginning to understand why I failed at math in elementary school.

I never did that although it sounds fun. I was good at math in school. XD

I'm terrible at it. Even basic addition and subtraction can take me a second though that might be more because I'm lazy and don't want to think. XD
