It is said that Britons are rigid while Chinese people are flexible, and this can be seen in their use of words. Chinese people use expressions such as one piece, one, one item, one day, one set, one machine, one piece of paper, one chapter, one zhang, one particle, one tree, one route, one vehicle, and so on. Those who are interested can continue to list more; Britons, on the other hand, simply use “a” and that’s it.

Americans too! The Chinese language is profound and extensive! Even for the letter ‘a’ in English, there are 4 different pronunciations in Chinese
one, a batch, one horse, one animal,
One jin, one tael, one cluster, one ridge
One piece, one stick, one kind, consistent, all the time, in a while, once, one horizontal line, one vertical line...........
A basin, a bowl, a spoon, a liter, a grain, a layer.....
In short, it is the only one that can be used with cardinal numbers, and in such cases ‘a’ can be used to express it.
;P has indefinite nouns: a piece, a leaf, a lump, a bottle
I can’t understand it; this isn’t the way to do things. You’re bullying me just because I’m uneducated.
