Tune of characters is a factor for getting a favorite, of course for most people. Saying multiple adjacent 3rd tunes like 两百两十两两（202两), your pronunciation speed is decreased, whereas if you just want to say it easily, you can say 两个 other than 二个, saying it easily can save your efforts, especially in a long lecture, if you want to say it loudly, use 4th tune version instead; In writing we don't need consider such differences。 | |
