How to write 3 in chinese

Three (3) is 三 sān. Four (4) is 四 sì. Five (5) is 五 wŭ. Continue counting from 6 to 10. Once you can say and write the characters for the first 5 numbers, move on to the numbers 6 through 10. Practice them the same way you practiced the numbers 1 through 5 until you have them memorized.

Writing the numbers in Chinese is simple as most characters are made of few strokes. Although the basic Chinese Number system is used widely, the Arabic system (what we are used to) has also been adopted due to convenience. Prices at the stores for example, are also quoted using the Arabic system.

In Chinese this is not the case. When you're just starting out, every sound, character, and word seems new and unique. Learning to read Chinese characters can feel like learning a whole set of completely illogical, unconnected “squiggles”! The most commonly-taught method for learning to read and write these “squiggles” is rote learning.

The first three characters are perhaps the easiest to remember because they are the same number of lines as the number they represent. One (1) is 一 yī. Two (2) is 二 èr. Three (3) is 三 sān.
