What is 2 in mandarin?

There are two ways to say "2" in Mandarin, depending on the context:

* 二 (èr): This is the standard pronunciation used in most situations.

* 两 (liǎng): This is used specifically when counting things, especially when referring to a number between one and ten.

So, if you are talking about "two apples", you would say "两 (liǎng) 个 苹果 (píngguǒ)". But if you are talking about "the number two", you would say "二 (èr)".
