Measure Word 量词 liàngcí

zhang

Words known as classifiers or measure words  are used along with numbers to define the quantity of a given object, or with demonstratives such as "this" and "that" to identify specific objects.

Many flat objects such as tables, papers, beds, and benches use the classifier 张 zhāng, whereas many long and thin objects use 条  tiáo.

Examples:
一张海报 ＝ a poster
一张纸    ＝ a piece of paper
一张书桌 ＝ a desk
