Number 1, 2, and 3 in Chinese

阿里山[ā lǐ shān]

The three Chinese numbers “一[yī], 二[èr], and 三[sān]” in sequence mean “1, 2, and 3.”

Their pronunciations are clear and lively due to the intonation. Usually, we count these three numbers while ready to take an action.

Now I prepare a sentence based on the exciting and pleasurable mood with which one is ready to go.

It is helpful to learn vocabulary and Chinese writing skills.

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
一	二	三	四	五	六	七	八	九	十
yī	èr	sān	sì	wǔ	liù	qī	bā	jiǔ	shí

一二三 [yī èr sān]， 到台湾 [dào tái wān]， 台湾有个阿里山 [tái wān yǒu gè ā lǐ shān]。 One, two, three, go to Taiwan, Taiwan has a mountain called Ali.

到[dào] /to go          台湾[tái wān] /Taiwan 有个(有一个)[yǒu yī gè] /have one                   阿里山[ā lǐ shān] /a mountain name of Taiwan

When I was a kid, we spoke this sentence nothing but for fun.😉

The Chinese compound sentence above has two features as follows:

1. The pronunciations of 三[sān], 湾[wān], 山[shān] have the same Final.
2. 台湾[tái wān] is repeated sequentially in this compound sentence, like linking beads. The first 台湾[tái wān] is at the end of the simple sentence, the other at the beginning of the next simple sentence.

Note:
My suggestion is to try speaking it out loud and perceiving the spirit of the Chinese. The translation from English just helps you make a sense of the rough meaning of Chinese, not to dig the deeper meaning and emotional feeling.

再见[zài jiàn]！
