The forum

Was one WhatsApp group with 200 unread. Now threads, by kind, with the answer attached.

二 vs 两 — is there a rule or just vibes?

罗海 Rohit Menon · Tue, 1 Sept, 10:12 pm

Sneha corrected my 二个人. When is it 两?

苏老师 Chen LaoshiTeacher · 2 Sept, 8:40 am

Counting → 二 (一二三). Before a measure word → 两 (两个人, 两杯茶). Phone numbers and years → 二. That's 90% of it.
