Structure of Numbers in Arabic (21 to 99)
In Arabic, forming numbers from 21 to 99 follows a clear and repetitive pattern. The structure is as follows:
[Unit digit] + "and" (و) + [Multiple of ten]
For example:
- 31 (واحد وثلاثون) is pronounced as "wahid wa thalathun", meaning "one and thirty".
- 42 (اثنان وأربعون) is pronounced as "ithnan wa arba'un", meaning "two and forty".
- 58 (ثمانية وخمسون) is pronounced as "thamaniya wa khamsun", meaning "eight and fifty".
Observations:
- The word for "And" in Arabic is represented by "و" [wa], which links the unit digit with the multiple of ten.
- The order is always: the unit digit first, followed by tens .
- Arabic is a right-to-left (RTL) language, meaning numbers and words are always read and written from right to left. For instance, واحد وثلاثون (31) begins with "one" (واحد) and ends with "thirty" (ثلاثون) when written in Arabic script.
Summary:
The Arabic numeric system allows for the construction of any number between 21 and 99 through a logical structure and right-to-left writing orientation, combined with the consistent format of [Unit digit] + "and" (و) + [Multiple of ten], making counting and writing numbers in Arabic a simple and consistent process.
