Abantu abaningi bayavuma ukuthi isiShayina saseMandarin sizoba olunye lwezilimi ezibaluleke kakhulu eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo ngenxa yokukhula komnotho okusheshayo kweShayina. Lokho kusho ukuthi, uma unesifiso sokufunda ulimi, ungaqala ngezinombolo zesiShayina , njengoba ukufunda ukubala kungenye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokuqala ukufunda ulimi.
Uma usuzohambela izwe, kunamagama athile ayisisekelo okufanele uwafunde kahle ngaphambi kokufika ukuze uzenze uqondwe, okungenani izinto eziyisisekelo.
Njengazo zonke izilimi, ukuze ufunde izinombolo ngesiShayina into yokuqala okufanele uyifunde izinombolo eziyisisekelo, okungukuthi, funda kusukela ku-0 kuya ku-9 , njengoba ezinye izinombolo zakhiwe yilezi.
Okulandelayo, ngizokwabelana ngetafula lapho ungabona khona inombolo, uhlamvu lwayo lwesiShayina nokuhumusha kwalo kube yiSpanishi, ukuze ukwazi ukuthola umbono ngokubizwa kwenombolo. Kunoma ikuphi, ungasebenzisa umhumushi oku-inthanethi ukufunda ukubiza kangcono.
Izinombolo zesiShayina kusuka ku-1 kuye ku-10
| Inombolo | Isi-Chinese | Pinyin |
| 0 | 零/〇 | ling |
| 1 | 一 | yi |
| 2 | 二 | yini |
| 3 | ezintathu | ongcwele |
| 4 | ezine | sì |
| 5 | Amahlanu | wǔ |
| 6 | eziyisithupha | leli |
| 7 | Isikhombisa | ini |
| 8 | Isishiyagalombili | ba |
| 9 | eziyisishiyagalolunye | hee |
| 10 | eziyishumi | shi |
Sincoma ukuthi uchithe isikhathi esithile ngekhanda izinombolo futhi uzijwayeza ukuphimisa. Uma usubazi kahle ungadlulela etafuleni elilandelayo:
Izinombolo 10 kuya ku-20
| Inombolo | Isi-Chinese | Pinyin |
| 11 | ishumi nanye | shí yi |
| 12 | ishumi nambili | shí ez |
| 13 | Ishumi nantathu | shí san |
| 14 | Ishumi nane | shi yebo |

| 19 | ishumi nesishiyagalolunye | shi hee |
| 20 | amashumi amabili | ngi shí |
Njengoba ukwazi ukubona ematafuleni amabili, okwenziwa kusuka ku-11 kuye ku-19 ukubeka ishumi kulandelwe yiyunithi. Isibonelo, ukusho ishumi nambili (shí ér) qala ngo-shí (10) ér (2).
Lo umthetho osetshenziswa ngezinombolo eziningi ngesiShayina. Isibonelo, uma ubufuna ukusho ama-22, okumele ukwenze nje ukuthi "amabili, ayishumi, amabili" ngesiShayina. Kulula ngokwanele akunjalo?
Amakhulu, izinkulungwane nezigidi ngesiShayina

| 1000 000 | isigidi esisodwa | yebo |
| 100 000 000 | 一 亿 | yyi yi |
Ngezinombolo ezinkulu, cishe kuyafana. Isibonelo, uma ufuna ukusho u-135, umane uthi 'inye, ikhulu, isithathu, ishumi, kanye nesihlanu'.

Ngezansi, sinevidiyo echazwe kahle kakhulu ezokusiza ukuthi uqonde kangcono izinombolo, futhi ifaka nesikhulumi sesiShayina somdabu ukusiza ngokuphimisela izinombolo zesiShayina.
