In Mandarin Chinese, measure words (also called classifiers, 量词 liàngcí) are used between numbers (or demonstratives like “this” or “that”) and nouns.

Unlike in English, you cannot say “one book” directly in Chinese. You must say:

👉 一本书 (yì běn shū) – “one [measure word] book”

Think of measure words like saying:

“a piece of paper”

“a slice of bread”

In Chinese, this applies to almost every noun.
