[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,232453]This could get a bit confusing for some: 五百八(five hundred and eighty, omit the 十) fine, there's no need to state the 十; but where I think the confusion could lie is in things like 508. 580=五百八/wubaiba. 508=五百零八/wubailingba. 零/ling=zero. Well, not exactly in this case. Ling is added to numbers when there is a gap between two denominations. You must say wubailingba to emphasise the lack of any tens, so I guess you could translate it as five hundred zero ten eight, if that helps. A similar thing happens with such things as time, age, money, weight,etc.[/quote]
