Structure of Numbers in Persian (11 to 99)
In Persian, forming numbers from 21 to 99 follows a simple and repetitive pattern. The structure is as follows:
[Unit digit] + "and" (و "o") + [Multiple of ten]
For example:
- 31 (سی و یک) is pronounced as "si o yek", meaning "thirty and one".
- 42 (چهل و دو) is pronounced as "chehel o do", meaning "forty and two".
- 58 (پنجاه و هشت) is pronounced as "panjāh o hasht", meaning "fifty and eight".
Observations:
- The word for "And" in Persian is represented by "و" [o], which links the unit digit with the multiple of ten.
- The order is always: tens first, followed by the unit digit.
- Persian is a right-to-left (RTL) language, meaning numbers and words are always read and written from right to left.For instance, سی و یک (31) begins with "thirty" (سی) and ends with "one" (یک) when written in Persian script.
Summary:
The Persian 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 "o") + [Multiple of ten], makes counting and writing numbers in persian a simple and consistent process
