In Mesopotamian Arabic, unlike standard Arabic, the numbers 1 to 10 have different forms if they appear as an adjective rather than a noun. Therefore, it is important to master both forms to communicate effectively. To make sure that you pronounce the numbers correctly, listen carefully to our audio recordings and repeat after us. You can also use the transliterations to practice your pronunciation.
Now that we learned how to count to 10 in Mesopotamian Arabic, we can practice and improve our counting skills by counting to higher numbers.
