Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (HI)

Here are the numbers in Hindi:


Notice how simillar these numbers are to our 'Arabic numbers' (not that 'Arabic', as you can see - Arabs just made them popular). You might also see some similarities in pronunciation to Slavic languages, English and French (for example  sounds like pięćпять, pět etc.)

(pattern: Arabic number (ex. '1.'), devanagari (ex. 'एक'), pronunciation (ex. 'ek'), devanagari number (ex. ''))

Counting from 1 to 10:

Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (MN)

Firstly we're going to look only at cardinal numbers.

Counting from 1 to 10:

1. нэг               (neg) 
2. хоёр            (khoior) 
3. гурав          (gurav)
4. дөрөв          (döröv) 
5. тав               (tav) 
6. зургаа        (zurgaa) 
7. долоо          (doloo) 
8. найм           (naym) 
9. ес                  (yes) 
10. арав          (arav)
*0. тэг             (teg)

If you want to count from 11 to 19 you have to apply this simple rule:
 арван + any number from 1 to 9 in an unchanged form, for example:

11.  арван нэг          (arvan neg)
12. арван хоёр        (arvan khoior)
13. арван гурав      (arvan gurav)
and so on... :)

Let's continue with higher numbers. There are no rules for 20, 30, 40 and so on, you simply have to learn them (but they're quite similar to 2, 3, 4 and so on).

20. хорь             (khor')
30. гуч                (guch)
40. дөч                (döch)
50. тавь             (taw')
60. жар               (zhar)
70. дал                (dal)
80. ная                (naya)
90. ер                   (yer)
100. зуу               (zuu)


Now, if you want to combine the numbers you have to use the altered form of 20, 30, 40 and the rest and then add the basic number from 1 to 9

20. хорь       --->      20+_  хорин __       (khorin)
30. гуч          --->     30+_  гучин __        (guchin)
40. дөч          --->     40+_  дөчин __        (döchin)
50. тавь        --->      50+_  тавин __       (tawin)
60. жар         --->      60+_  жаран __      (zharan)
70. дал          --->      70+_  далан __        (dalan)
80. ная          --->      80+_  наян __          (nayan)
90. ер             --->      90+_  eрэн __          (yeren)
100. зуу         --->      100+_  зуун __        (zuun)

for example:           25. хорин тав          (khorin tav)
                            89. наян ес                (nayan yes)           and so on. 



It's not very complicated :) However, if you need any further explanation and/or want to hear a native speaker's pronounciation, you may find the video below very useful.

Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (HAW)

Here are the numbers in Hawaiian:

Counting from 1 to 10:
1. 'ekahi
2. 'elua
3. 'ekolu
4. 'ehā
5. 'elima
6. 'eono
7. 'ehiku
8. 'ewalu
9. 'eiwa
10. 'umi

11-19 rule:
10('umi) + 'kuma' (which means 'plus') + 1-9 without 'e' in the beginning
11. 'umikūmākahi
12. 'umikūmālua
13. 'umikūmākolu
14. 'umikūmāhā
etc.

20, 21, 22, 23...:
20. iwakālua
21. iwakāluakūmākahi (20+1)
22. iwakāluakūmālua (20+2)
etc.

30, 40, 50 etc. rule:
'kana' + number 1-9
30. kanakolu
40. kanahā
50. kanalima
etc.

So 76 will be kanahikukūmāono. As simple as that.

100. ho'okahi hanele

0. 'ole

Not that hard, right?

Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (FI)

Here are the numbers in Finnish:

Counting from 1 to 10:
1. yksi
2. kaksi
3. kolme
4. neljä
5. viisi
6. kuusi
7. seitsemän
8. kahdeksan
9. yhdeksän
10. kymmenen

11-19 rule:
(1-9 + 'toista')
11. yksitoista
12. kaksitoista
13. kolmetoista
14. neljätoista
etc.

20, 3o, 40... rule:
(1-9 + 'kymmentä')
20. kaksikymmentä
40. neljäkymmentä
70. seitsemänkymmentä

35, 67, 89 etc. rule:
(1-9 + 'kymmentä' 1-9)
47. neljäkymmentäseitsemän
88. kahdeksankymmentakahdeksan

100. sata

0. nolla


Pretty easy, huh?

Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (FR)

Here are the numbers in French:

Counting from 1 to 10:
1. un
2. deux
3. trois
4. quatre
5. cinque
6. six
7. sept
8. huit
9. neuf
10. dix

11-19:
11. onze
12. dou
ze
13. trei
ze
14. quator
ze
15. quin
ze
16. sei
ze
17. dix-sept
(which means 'ten-seven')

18. dix-huit
19. dix-neuf

now it will only get worse...
20. vingt
21. vingt et un
('et' is 'and' and you only use it for ~1)

22. vingt-deux (see? no 'et' anymore - and now you need a dash)
23. vingt-trois
etc.

30. trente
31. trente et un
32. trente-deux

etc.

same rule for these: 40. quarante
50. cinquante
60. soixante


and now there comes another problem...
70. soixante-dix (which means, basically, 'sixty-ten')
71. soixante-et-onze ('sixty-and-eleven')
72. soixante-douze ('sixty-twelve')
73. soixante-treize

80. quatre-vingts ('four twenties' - notice that '20' is plural, that's why there is an 's' at the end)
81. quatre-vight-un (no 's' anymore and no 'et' before 'un', as it was in previous ~1s)
82. quatre-vight-deux

90. quatre-vingt-dix (this would be something like 4*20+10 - that's how they explained it to me when I was too young to understand such complicated maths xD) (notice that 20 is NOT plural)
91. quatre-vingt-onze (no 'et' here)
92. quatre-vingt-douze

100. cent

0. zéro

These are kind of hard, but it's not the worst case ever - check out Hindi numbers!

For using these you might also need some basic grammar and that is what I will explain in the next part of Lesson 1.

Lesson 1 - Numbers (01) (ZH)

Here are the numbers in Chinese:

Counting from 1 to 10:
1. (yī) (yes, Chinese '1' is just one stroke!)
2.  (èr) 
3.  (sān)
4.  (sì)
5.  (wǔ)
6.  (liù)
7.  (qī)
8.  (bā)
9. (jiǔ)
10.  (shí)

11-19 rule:
10+something, for example:
11.   (shíyī)
15.   (shíwǔ)
(notice that I wrote them together in pinyin: 'shíyī', NOT 'shí yī')

20, 30, 40... rule:
something+10, for example:
20.   (èrshí)
70.   (qīshí)

21, 45, 93 etc. rule:
something+10+something, for example:
56.    (wǔshíliù)
83. 
   (bāshísān)


100: 
(bǎi)


0:  (líng)

Conclusion: Chinese 1-100 counting is very simple and easy to understand - and you only have to learn 12 characters to write them down!
