The Chinese word for "sixty", 六十 (liùshí), is formed through a logical and consistent numeral system where the digit "六" (liù), meaning "six", is directly combined with the base "十" (shí), meaning "ten". Unlike English, which has unique words like "sixty", Chinese constructs multiples of ten multiplicatively: the digit is stated first, followed by the base "ten", so "six-tens" literally equals sixty. This transparent structure applies to all multiples of ten from twenty (二十) to ninety (九十), reflecting the language's base-10 numerical logic.
