Uh... isn't that just because all digits in Chinese are monosyllabic? Doesn't really have much to do with the way the number is conceptualized.

- oefrha 7y agoGiven that children (and some adults) verbalize thoughts in their minds, being able to speak something faster is an advantage. It also makes memorization easier. Take the multiplication table as an example. By the way, digits are almost monosyllabic in English too (with the exception of seven) but not even remotely as nice.
