How many measure words are there for people?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So far, I've come across four that I can think of:

个 - most common

口 - when talking about members of your family

位 - when being polite

名 - when the noun is a type of occupation (is this right?)

Can anybody add to this list?

"号" is also used in informal cases, usually following approximate numbers

e.g. 一百来号人 四十号人:mrgreen:

一堆朋友 (not sure if that's the right dui, should be dui4).
