How to use these phrases
The Chinese currency is called Renminbi. One yuan is "一元" or just "一块". Ten yuan is "十元" or "十块". The word "块" is the casual way to say yuan, and Chinese people use it more often in daily life. "毛" is one tenth of a yuan, and "分" is one hundredth. When you pay, you can say "我付钱" which means "I pay". Remember, in China most people use mobile payment apps like WeChat Pay and Alipay instead of cash!
