  1. I spent several tens of dollars on this skirt.

    This skirt is worth 10-plus dollars (or yuan).

    I spent many tens of thousands to buy this car.

    Hold on; I need to ask for directions.

    It doesn't matter, I don't need to put this on the bicycle, I'll just carry it.


  2. 1. I spent quite a few dollars on this skirt.

    2. This skirt cost over 10 dollars.

    3. I spent tens of thousands on this car.

    4. Please wait a while, I need to ask directions.

    5. It's ok, it doesn't need to go on the bike, I can carry it.

    New one, not sure how to ask politely in English:

    Your present wife is your?  How many wives does this make?

    Something like that I think.

  3. 1. i spent some money on this dress

    2. this dress costs a little more than 10 dollars

    3. i spent a few a um..k's? like 10,000 on a car.

    4. wait a moment, i need to ask for directions.

    5. don't worry, i don't need to put this on the bicycle, i can hold it myself.

  4. 1.我花了几十块钱买这条裙子 = I've spent between 10 & 90 dollars (or whatever the local currency is) on this skirt / dress. [几十 = several tens. In Chinese, ten = 十,twenty = two tens = 二十,thirty = three tens = 三十, & the series goes on like this up until 90+. 几十 is used when you don't want people to know the actual amount paid. In English, you don't have a term called "several tens", but you do have "several hundreds" of dollars. ]

    2.这条裙子值十多元钱 = This dress is worth more than ten yuan[or whatever the local currency is]

    3.我花了好几万买这部车子 = I've spent several thousands [literally, 几万 = several "10,000" of dollars, or local currency] to buy this car.

    4.请等一会,我需要问路 = Please wait a while, I need to ask for directions

    5.没关系,这个不需要放在自行车上,我用手提着就行了。= It doesn't matter, this doesn't need to be put on the bicycle, I'll just carry it.

    你现在的妻子是你的第几个妻子? = Your current wife is wife # __ (of yours)? [This is when the man has married and divorced several times, so the asker wants to know.]
