Tell the Number 520's Meaning in Chinese: The Homophonous 520 Meaning Love

520 is a set of Chinese love numbers, with the hidden meaning of the popular love sentence "I love you". It is because that the pronunciation of 520 in Chinese sounds quite similar to what we said "我爱你" (Wǒ ài nǐ) in Chinese, which is exactly the Chinese expression of I love you in English.

520 是中文里的表达爱意的一组数字，隐藏有“我爱你”的含义。这是由于数字 520 在中文里的发音听起来与用中文说“我爱你”的读音十分相似 ，而“我爱你”恰好是中文里表达 "I love you" 的句子。

To be specific, the number "5" is simplified written as "五" in Chinese, the lowercase Chinese number, and pronounced as (wǔ), similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese character "我" (wǒ).

具体来说，数字 “5”，中文里写为小写数字“五”,其读音（Wǔ），与中文汉字 “我” 的读音相似。

Second, the number "2" is simplified written as "二" in Chinese, the lowercase Chinese number, and pronounced as (èr), similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese character "爱" (ài).

其次，数字 “2”，中文里写作小写数字“二”，其读音（èr），与中文汉字 “爱” 的读音相似。

And, the third number "0" is simplified written as "零" in Chinese, the lowercase Chinese number, and pronounced as (líng), similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese character "您" (nín) and especially to its Cantonese pronunciation.

第三个数字 “0”，中文里写作小写数字“零”，其读音（líng），与中文字 “您” 的读音相似，尤其接近其粤语发音。

Such similar Chinese pronunciations are called "谐音" (Xié yīn) in Chinese, with the meaning of homophonous. The Chinese characters, numbers or words with similar Chinese pronunciations but different writings and meanings are accordingly called "谐音字"、"谐音数字" in Chinese language.

这种相似读音，在中文里称作“谐音（Xié yīn）”, homophonous。而具备这种相似中文读音以及不同字形和字义的中文字词、数字也因此被称作“谐音字”、“谐音数字”。
