Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

We will begin by learning the numbers from 1 to 10 in Dari. These numbers are the building blocks for larger numbers, so it's important to master them first. Here is a table with the Dari numbers, their pronunciation, and English translations:

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Dari-speaking countries like Afghanistan and Iran, numbers play an important role in everyday life. They are used not only for counting and measuring but also in various cultural contexts. For example, in Afghan culture, it is common to use numbers to express respect or formality. When addressing someone older or in a position of authority, it is customary to add the number "سه" (seh) before their name as a sign of respect. This practice demonstrates the significance of numbers beyond their numerical value.

Additionally, knowing the numbers in Dari will help you understand and appreciate traditional Afghan or Iranian songs, poems, and literature. Many classical works rely on numerical symbolism and wordplay, making it essential to grasp the meanings associated with different numbers.
