Unit 2 Money telling

2.1 Money telling in decimal [T2]

2.1.1) Notes

a) “gogogogo”

“gogogogo” is the measure word for the coins of dollars, measure words will be talked about in

more detail in another chapter. Here “gogogogo” is used instead of “dollar” and, so “dollar:

mânmânmânmân” is not said or otherwise it’s just wrong.

For decimals, where you put the “point”, such as “one point one dollar”, where you put

“gogogogo”.

b) Common mistake

For e.g., if $2.1 is wrongly said as “leuhng go yât mânleuhng go yât mânleuhng go yât mânleuhng go yât mân” instead of “leuhng go yâtleuhng go yâtleuhng go yâtleuhng go yât”, it

actually means “2 pieces of one-dollar-coin”. Therefore remember don’t put “dollar:

mânmânmânmân” at the end for money telling for decimal.

2.1.2) $1.1 -$1.9 People don’t say “yât go yâtyât go yâtyât go yâtyât go yât ”. For $1.1-$1.9, the first “yâtyâtyâtyât, one” is skipped.

* “bunbunbunbun: half” is used instead of “çghçghçghçgh: 5” here

damaged, one could see it’s broken. Therefore for cars or computers etc,

people would say “waaihwaaihwaaihwaaih” instead of “laahnlaahnlaahnlaahn”. If a car is crashed, people may

say it “laahnlaahnlaahnlaahn”.

12.1.4) Notes In answering questions “yáuh móuh dak…?yáuh móuh dak…?yáuh móuh dak…?yáuh móuh dak…?”, you can give short answer “yáuhyáuhyáuhyáuh”

/ “móuhmóuhmóuhmóuh” or give a longer answer such as “yáuh dâk wuhnyáuh dâk wuhnyáuh dâk wuhnyáuh dâk wuhn”. However, you

can’t say “yáuh dâkyáuh dâkyáuh dâkyáuh dâk” or “móuh dâkmóuh dâkmóuh dâkmóuh dâk”. It’s because “dâkdâkdâkdâk” is a linking particle and

you have to say something after “dâkdâkdâkdâk”.
