数目,十个千
Chinese groups large numbers in fours, not threes: 万 is the second grouping after 千, and 亿 (a hundred million) is the third. So 50,000 is 五万 and 120,000 is 十二万 — the English habit of thinking in thousands has to be set aside.

常见错误
不太对这个要十千块。
正确这个要一万块。
Chinese has no "ten thousand" built from 千: counting stops at 九千 and starts again at 一万. Saying 十千 is the single clearest sign that a speaker is still counting in English.
