"6070 Yuan."

Translation: 六千零七十块。

[alanxoc3]

Why do you need 零 here? To me it seems perfectly logical to be able to omit the 零. Is it just a cultural thing?

[NicholasY4815]

I've spoken with my family without the 零 in numbers that are slightly higher (like 6070), and found that many people usually don't put the extra 零 in the number when saying it.

[Mokuhazush]

Yes, I guess you could say it is. You can't omit it in Chinese.

[Karoliina765050]

I have the same problem here - my logic tells me that you can't possibly get any other number than 6070 when you leave the 零 out. Can someone explain whether it would just sound weird, or whether it would actually cause confusion?

[PetiteMika]

i think we don't need to put 零

[LukasGroth]

What about 〇 instead of 零?

[badwolfnorth]

Yes, I've never seen "零“ in real life in China, but I see "〇“ all the time.

[Ryf-Reto]

using 元 instead of 块 shall be accepted, it is like dollars and bucks

[calvinlimuel13]

Okay my mandarin isn't that good but I've never heard that growing up from my family.

[macleon]

Don't need 零

[mark.lamborghini]

Is the 零 really necessary? In my experience while in China, nobody says this unless spelling out digit by digit

[elmanisero777]

could you also say "六十白七十块" like you say 1500 as fifteen hundred in english?

[alanxoc3]

No. But you do start using that type of syntax when you get to the 100 thousands. For example, 万 (wàn) is 10,000 and 十万 is 100,000. Also, 亿 yì is 100 million and 十亿 is a billion.

The question asked for YUAN but that character was not presented.
