What are Vietnamese numerals?

Vietnamese numerals are the number system used in the Vietnamese language. They are based on the Chinese numerals but have been adapted to fit the phonetic structure of the Vietnamese language. Vietnamese numerals consist of both native Vietnamese words and Sino-Vietnamese words. The native Vietnamese numerals are used for counting objects, while the Sino-Vietnamese numerals are used for formal and legal documents, as well as for counting money, time, and dates. The Vietnamese numeral system is decimal, meaning it is based on powers of 10. The numerals are written using a combination of Arabic numerals and Vietnamese characters.
