May YuGuest November 6, 2020 at 2:26 pm

Hello, i cant actually find 0 (zero)

classbase123Student August 13, 2021 at 11:15 pm

Zero is “Ling” 零 But your comment was from 2020, so you probably already know by now

AleVenPremium Student August 22, 2020 at 2:30 am

谢谢

nightlilyPremium Student August 16, 2019 at 6:55 am

你好, Lily! How to say “zero” in Chinese? Like in the phone number, for example.

Heeon ParkPremium Student August 2, 2020 at 11:40 pm

零ling （zero)

Film2860Student August 10, 2020 at 9:27 am

零(ling2) means zero
but usually you will find this 〇 (ling2)
also means zero but it’s informal

DGallerPremium Student June 16, 2019 at 5:54 am

Really enjoying the lessons so far, very helpful

njurePremium Student March 12, 2019 at 1:23 pm

In 1 and 5, are you actually pronouncing the initial “y” and “w” at all? I can’t hear even a hint of them. I checked some other youtube videos for comparison and 1 always sounds like “ii” and 5 like “uu”. Would it sound strange if I pronounced them as “yii” and “wuu” with an audible Y and W?

Lili HaoTeacher March 13, 2019 at 1:40 am

Please refer to our Pinyin lesson on Zero Initials “y” and “w”
