Understanding Arabic Numbers (11 to 99)

Arabic numbers  follow a logical and consistent pattern, making it easier to learn numbers from 11 to 99 once you master the names of the tens and the digit units.

Key Pattern for Numbers 11 to 99

In Arabic, numbers are constructed by combining the digit unit (1 to 9) with the corresponding tens (10,20, 30...90). The format is:

[Digit Unit] + وَ (and) + [Tens]

For example: 99 (تسعة وتسعون) is read as "Nine and Ninety."

Arabic Tens (10 to 90)

• 10 (عشرة) → [ʿašara]
• 20 (عِشْرُونَ) → [ʿišrūn]
• 30 (ثَلَاثُونَ) → [ṯalāṯūn]
• 40 (أَرْبَعُونَ) → [ʾarbaʿūn]
• 50 (خَمْسُونَ) → [ḫamsūn]
• 60 (سِتُّونَ) → [sittūn]
• 70 (سَبْعُونَ) → [sabʿūn]
• 80 (ثَمَانُونَ) → [ṯamānūn]
• 90 (تِسْعُونَ) → [tisʿūn]

Examples

Here are a few examples to demonstrate how the pattern works:

• 13 (ثلاثة عشر) → "Three and Ten"
  [Digit Unit]: ثلاثة (ṯalāṯa), [Tens]: عشرة (ʿašara)
• 21 (واحد وعشرون) → "One and Twenty"
  [Digit Unit]: واحد (wāḥid), [Tens]: عِشْرُونَ (ʿišrūn)
• 35 (خمسة وثلاثون) → "Five and Thirty"
  [Digit Unit]: خَمْسَة (ḫamsa), [Tens]: ثَلَاثُونَ (ṯalāṯūn)
• 47 (سبعة وأربعون) → "Seven and Forty"
  [Digit Unit]: سَبْعَة (sabʿa), [Tens]: أَرْبَعُونَ (ʾarbaʿūn)
• 99 (تسعة وتسعون) → "Nine and Ninety"
  [Digit Unit]: تِسْعَة (tisʿa), [Tens]: تِسْعُونَ (tisʿūn)

Tips to Remember

• The Conjunction "وَ" (and): Always place "وَ" between the digit unit and the tens.
• Digit First, Tens Second: In Arabic, the digit comes before the tens.
• Example for 23:
  - In English: Twenty-three.
  - In Arabic: Three and Twenty (ثلاثة وعشرون).

forming numbers from 11 to 99 easy once you master the names of unit digits and tens digits. Arabic's logical structure makes learning this system straightforward and intuitive.

Counting Hundreds in Arabic (100 to 999)

Learn how to count Arabic numbers in the hundreds range. Each number includes its Arabic form, IPA pronunciation, and English meaning.

Counting Hundreds in Arabic (100 to 999)

Arabic numbers follow a logical and consistent pattern. Counting from 100 to 999 is similar to the pattern used for smaller numbers, but with the addition of the hundreds. Once you know how to form numbers from 1 to 99, it becomes easy to add the hundreds digit.

Key Pattern for Numbers 100 to 999

To form numbers from 100 to 999 in Arabic, you simply read the name of the hundreds digit followed by the name of the tens and digit unit (1 to 99).

[Hundreds Digit] + مئة + [Tens and Units (01 to 99)]

For example: 245 (مائتان وخمسة وأربعون) is read as "Two hundred and Forty-five."

Arabic Hundreds (100, 200, 300, etc.)

• 100 (مئة) → [miʾa]
• 200 (مائتان) → [māʾatān]
• 300 (ثلاثمئة) → [ṯalāṯumīʾa]
• 400 (أربعمئة) → [ʾarbaʿumīʾa]
• 500 (خمسمئة) → [ḫamsumīʾa]
• 600 (ستمئة) → [sittumīʾa]
• 700 (سبعمئة) → [sabʿumīʾa]
• 800 (ثمانمئة) → [ṯamānīmīʾa]
• 900 (تسعمئة) → [tisʿumīʾa]

Examples

Here are a few examples to demonstrate how the pattern works:

• 125 (مئة وخمسة وعشرون) → "One hundred and Twenty-five"
  [Hundreds]: مئة (miʾa), [Tens and Units]: خمسة وعشرون (ḫamsa wa-ʿišrūn)
• 301 (ثلاثمئة وواحد) → "Three hundred and One"
  [Hundreds]: ثلاثمئة (ṯalāṯumīʾa), [Tens and Units]: واحد (wāḥid)
• 578 (خمسمئة وثمانية وسبعون) → "Five hundred and Seventy-eight"
  [Hundreds]: خمسمئة (ḫamsumīʾa), [Tens and Units]: ثمانية وسبعون (ṯamāniya wa-sabʿūn)
• 934 (تسعمئة وأربعة وثلاثون) → "Nine hundred and Thirty-four"
  [Hundreds]: تسعمئة (tisʿumīʾa), [Tens and Units]: أربعة وثلاثون (ʾarbaʿa wa-ṯalāṯūn)

Tips to Remember

• The Conjunction "و" (and): Use "و" (and) between the hundreds, tens, and digit unit (for example: مئة وواحد).
• Order of Digits: Always read the hundreds first, followed by the tens and the digit unit.
• Example for 325:
  - In English: Three hundred and Twenty-five.
  - In Arabic: ثلاثمئة وخمسة وعشرون (ṯalāṯumīʾa wa-ḫamsa wa-ʿišrūn).

as you master the numbers from 1 to 99, adding the hundreds is simple. The combination of hundreds, tens, and digit units makes the structure consistent and easy to understand.

Counting Hundreds in Arabic (990 to 1000)

Learn how to count Arabic numbers in the hundreds range from 990 to 1000. Each number includes its Arabic form, IPA pronunciation, and English meaning.

Counting from 1000 to 1,000,000,000 in Arabic

Arabic numbers follow a logical and consistent pattern for counting from 1000 to 1,000,000,000. The structure combines thousands, millions, and billions with the appropriate number words.

Key Pattern for Numbers 1000 to 1,000,000,000

To form numbers from 1000 to 1,000,000,000 in Arabic, you combine the base unit for thousands, millions, or billions with the corresponding digit. Here's the general format:

[Digit] + [Base Unit]

For example: 245,000 (مائتان وخمسة وأربعون ألفاً) is read as "Two hundred and Forty-five thousand."

Arabic Base Units for Large Numbers

• 1000 (ألف) → [ʾalf]
• 10,000 (عشرة آلاف) → [ʿashara ālāf]
• 100,000 (مئة ألف) → [miʾat ʾalf]
• 1,000,000 (مليون) → [milyūn]
• 10,000,000 (عشرة ملايين) → [ʿashara malāʾīn]
• 100,000,000 (مئة مليون) → [miʾat milyūn]
• 1,000,000,000 (مليار) → [milyār]

Examples

Here are a few examples to demonstrate how the pattern works:

• 1,245 (ألفان ومئتان وخمسة وأربعون) → "Two thousand and Two hundred and Forty-five"
  [Thousands]: ألفان (ʾalfān), [Hundreds]: مئتان (miʾatān), [Tens and Units]: خمسة وأربعون (ḫamsa wa-ʿarbaʿūn)
• 25,000 (خمسة وعشرون ألفاً) → "Twenty-five thousand"
  [Thousands]: ألف (ʾalf), [Tens and Units]: خمسة وعشرون (ḫamsa wa-ʿišrūn)
• 500,000 (خمسمئة ألف) → "Five hundred thousand"
  [Hundreds]: خمسمئة (ḫamsumīʾa), [Thousands]: ألف (ʾalf)
• 1,000,000 (مليون) → "One million"
  [Millions]: مليون (milyūn)
• 25,000,000 (خمسة وعشرون مليوناً) → "Twenty-five million"
  [Millions]: مليون (milyūn), [Tens and Units]: خمسة وعشرون (ḫamsa wa-ʿišrūn)
• 1,000,000,000 (مليار) → "One billion"
  [Billions]: مليار (milyār)

Tips to Remember

• The Conjunction "و" (and): Use "و" (and) between digits when combining larger numbers (e.g., ألفان و مئتان).
• Order of Units: Always read the digits from the largest base unit (thousands, millions, billions) to the smallest (units).
• Example for 1,245,000:
  - In English: One million, two hundred and forty-five thousand.
  - In Arabic: مليون ومئتان وخمسة وأربعون ألفاً (milyūn wa-miʾatān wa-ḫamsa wa-ʿarbaʿūn ʾalfan).

As you master the numbers from 1 to 999,000,000, adding the thousands, millions, and billions becomes easy. The consistent structure makes counting large numbers in Arabic straightforward.
