Notes
- Measure words can be reduplicated to act as a sentence element. This has the meaning of 'every'.
- Used after numerals or demonstrative pronouns.
- If the number is just one, it can be omitted; just the measure word is OK.
- 半 before measure word means "half of". 半 after measure word means "... and a half"
- 多 and measure words
- 多 in between numeral and measure word e.g. 十多个 means more than the number given but less than the next whole number. Like 'odd' in English e.g. "thirty-odd".
- 多 after the measure word simply means more than the number given
- Most measure words are single characters, but not all (need list of two-character measure words)
