Translation:Nine yuan

Just be aware that it's contextual.
The official Chinese currency is the 人民币 (renminbi).
"元" is a basic unit of money, but the Chinese word is not used exclusively to refer to Chinese money. In context, it's also used to refer to a unit of Taiwan currency, US currency, Japanese currency, etc.
For example, 日元 is "yen", 美元 is "American dollar(s)", and 新台币 is "new Taiwan dollar(s)", but 九元 (formal) and 九块 (informal) could mean any of these, depending on where we were located and what we were talking about.
In English, it's convenient to call the RMB the "yuan", but "dollar" is also a legitimate translation of the Chinese word "元", based on its broader usage in Chinese.

Yuan is a UNIT of the currency used in China (called renminbi, RMB or CNY). Yuan is also used with the currency in Taiwan (called New Taiwan Dollar, NT$ or TWD). 1 yuan is 10 jiao or 100 fen.
the basic monetary unit of China, equal to 10 jiao or 100 fen.
中国的基本货币单位，等于10焦或100分
its the word for money, but its not the currency like in english, we called money 'money' but we dont say we have 10 money- we have ten dollars or pounds or whatever
I typed “90” instead of “9 yuan” but still the evaluation came as correct. Should I report a bug?
Are the characters for the numbers the same as in Japanese? I know some are, but are they all? Is there a reason for this? I know they are not pronounced the same though. It is getting me sort of confused, but I think I'll be able to figure it out.
Yes, the numbers are the same, when written in kanji.
The simple reason is that the Japanese kanji are borrowed from Chinese. "Kanji" is Japanese for "漢字 / 汉字 / hànzì", or in other words, "Chinese characters". The kanji are a more or less a subset of hànzì, albeit sometimes with slightly different meanings. There have been some modifications of the kanji over time, but most remain the same, including numbers.
Actually yuan could be referred to any unit of money, based on where you're from. In some countries it could be dollars too, not just the chinese currency, like in singapore.
Duo, you do realize that 'Chinese' is not a language. it is either Mandarin or Cantonese. When you can write Bokmal with Norwegian and Hirangana with Japanese, Why can you not mention what language we are learning under the name Chinese?
not every language is like english. chinese doesnt have plurals like english does
I answered with pinyin 九元 but it still counted as wrong (I don't want to put it in english)
How can I know the difference between $ and ¥, 'cause I'm like in a trivia
아니, 몰랐는데... ¥(yuan)이 앞에 오는 거였네요-_-;; 저만 몰랐나요??ㅠㅠ (전 100¥ 이렇게 썼었는데 ¥100 이런식? 하하....) 근데 저만 한국어 쓰는 건가욤??? 어쨌든 도움이 되셨다면(?) 팔로우 부탁드릴게요~(닉네임 : lola_서영)
