How come the classifier 辆 appears in the sentence " 我买了辆新车。"? I thought classifiers only appeared with numerals and determiners?
- Simplified Chinese (China)
我买了辆新车 equals to 我买了1辆新车。When there is only one thing, you don't have to say the word "one".

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Danish
- English (US)
- Simplified Chinese (China)
@Chriswood This is very common in Chinese. So remembering some simple examples would help a lot.
Another example. 我吃了个包子。= 我吃了1个包子。（I had an Chinese bun。）In real life, no native speaker says the second sentence。We all say "吃了个包子"。You say "吃了1个包子" if you wanna emphasize the word "one"; it feels like "I had ONE Chinese bun" in English.
