When to use Measure Words with 个
Chinese usually does not put a number directly before a noun. 个 is the most common starter measure word and works for many everyday nouns.
她买了两本书。
She bought two books.
请给我一杯水。
Please give me a glass of water.
这个人是我的朋友。
This person is my friend.
我要两个苹果。
I want two apples.
Common traps
- Do not say 三朋友 without a measure word.
- 个 is useful but not the best measure word for every noun.
- Remember 两 is common before measure words.
