One to ten are the basic numbers you need to know. The rest branch off the main ten. For example
Eleven - 十一 - Sap yat
Twelve - 十二 - Sap yi
Twenty - 二十 - Yi sap
Twenty one - 二十一 - Yi sap yat
Twenty two - 二十二 - Ji sap yi
There is also another way of typing twenty 廿 which is pronounced "yaa".
So the rest of the numbers in the twenties can also be typed with "yaa" 廿 replacing "yi sap" 二十。
Thirty - 三十 - Saam sap
etc
One hundred - 一百 - Yat baak
Two hundred - 二百 - Yi baak
One thousand - 一千 - Yat cheen
