What Number Are We Up To?例 · 他得到了比我们还高的分数
There are 十来个人 waiting outside—roughly a dozen, give or take. 来 after a number makes an estimate. Decimals, fractions, percentages, and multiples each have a spoken order of their own, so say the whole quantity as a phrase instead of reading symbols one at a time.
他得到了比我们还高的分数。
tā dédào le bǐ wǒmen hái gāo de fēnshù。

他们没来这里，是吗？
tāmen méi lái zhèlǐ， shì ma？
They didn't come here, did they?
