Every number in Hebrew has a gender, either masculine or feminine. The gender changes depending on the noun it refers to.

When counting, calculating, or speaking numbers that don't have an immediate noun attached to them, it's best to use the feminine form.

In the table below, we have chosen to teach you the pronunciation of the feminine form.
