nciku Note

The expressions of approximate number

Approximate number can be expressed either by adding "来"，"多" between the numeral and measure word, or by putting "左右", "上下" after the measure word. "来" and "多" mean to over the number, "把", "左右" and "上下" mean "approximate"."左右" has wider usage than "上下".

e.g. (1)书包里有二十来本书。 (2)他哥哥二十多岁。 (3)他看上去20岁上下。 (4)这段距离有十公里左右。
