For the most part you only have to add the number together the same way that we do in English. They are as follows: 11Īfter dix-neuf, French numbers start to gain some sense of regularity. As in English, some of the numbers between 10 and 19 are quite irregular. Once you’ve got your head around the lower number, it’s time to learn the numbers 11-19 in French.
To demonstrate this, let’s look at some examples with the number six. However, if a number is followed by a word beginning with a vowel or mute h, you can expect some sound changes. Likewise, the numbers deux and trois (two and three) always remain the same. If the number is by itself, then you simply pronounce it as we listed above.
Most of these words have sounds that cannot be found in English, so be sure to listen to each one to make sure you have the pronunciation right. You probably already know these, but it’s always good to review. Let’s start with the very basic numbers, one to ten. However, with this guide we’ll go through each set of numbers, so ne vous inquiétez pas! (don’t worry!) because we’ve got you covered for every step of the way. We should warn you in advance though that French numbers are infamous for being quite irregular and rather tricky to master. Whether you want to give someone an address or say how many croissants you’d like to order, you’re going to need to know les nombres (the numbers). It's somehow more complicated because here you may need a dictionary even for character counting (otherwise you'll just count syllables).Numbers are one of the most essential parts of learning any language. Again they don't need spaces so you can't rely on them for word counting. Korean is a complete different story, it's an alphabet exactly as latin one but character (that should be called syllable) may be composed of many letters. Which one? There are a lot of them, I don't know for Chinese but in Japanese a popular one to transliterate Kanji is Kakasi. If you plan to count words in one transliteration you need to use an external library (it's not an easy task to do it by yourself), a different one for each language you want to support (somehow it's easy to auto detect the language because in Japanese they use very often hiragana/katakana characters). It'll display 8, as Word does (we're counting characters), in bytes (supposing an UTF-8 encoding) is 24. That said now try to write this code: string text = "这是一个示例文本"
What's the point? What you will count? Words transliterated to one of phonetic representations (with latin characters) we use to represent them? Which one? Word counting will be pretty different and it'll actually count our concept of words (that's why, I suppose, Word counts characters). Moreover don't forget in Japanese they have more than one alphabet (and one family of them are phonetic). Actually it's not (for example in Japanese it's 5 words when transliterated in romaji). Will be counted as 8 characters and 8 words (in Chinese) and 15 characters and 15 words in Japanese. To count real words you need a dictionary (because you can't rely on spaces).
#Counting numbers in different languages code
What Word does is to count words (assuming they'll be equal to characters) and you can do the same in your code (just don't forget it's UNICODE so you can't count bytes) counting characters. Moreover they don't need spaces to separate words so our distinction characters/words can't be made using blanks as delimiters.
Japanese and Chinese text is made of characters exactly as western languages but one character may be a word to. I'm sure some native speaker may explain this much better than me. They're logographic characters and it's not so subtle difference. S there any available library for word-counting of some hieroglyphics language (ex: chinese, japanese, korean.)?
