Now that we have learned the numbers 1-20 in Tatar, let's take a closer look at the Tatar numeral system and any unique features or patterns it may have.
Tatar Numeral System[edit | edit source]
The Tatar numeral system is a base-10 system, meaning it uses the decimal system that is common in many languages. The numbers 1-10 have unique names, while the numbers 11-19 are formed by combining the word for ten with the numbers 1-9. For example, "eleven" is "он бир" (onbir), which literally translates to "ten one". Similarly, "nineteen" is "төшнчы" (töshnchy), which translates to "ten nine".
After the number 19, the numbers from 20 onwards are formed by combining the word for twenty (югары, yuğarı) with the numbers 1-9. For example, "twenty-one" is "югары бер" (yuğarı ber), which translates to "twenty one". This pattern continues for higher numbers as well.
It is worth noting that the Tatar numeral system is consistent with the grammatical rules of the language. This means that numbers agree with the noun they modify in terms of case, number, and gender. For example, if you want to say "two books" in Tatar, you would say "ике китап" (ike kitap), where "ике" (ike) is the number two and "китап" (kitap) is the noun for book.
Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]
Numbers hold cultural significance in every language, and Tatar is no exception. In Tatar culture, certain numbers are considered lucky or unlucky, and they may be associated with specific events or customs.
For example, the number seven (яти, yäti) is considered a lucky number in Tatar culture. It is associated with positive qualities such as harmony, peace, and spiritual growth. In many Tatar traditions, seven is a significant number, and it often appears in rituals, ceremonies, and folklore.
On the other hand, the number thirteen (онуч, onüch) is considered an unlucky number in Tatar culture, similar to many other cultures around the world. It is associated with superstitions and is often considered a symbol of bad luck. In Tatar folklore, it is believed that if thirteen people gather at a table, one of them will die within a year. This superstition has led to the omission of the thirteenth floor in many buildings and the avoidance of the number thirteen in various contexts.
Understanding these cultural nuances adds depth to your knowledge of the Tatar language and allows you to appreciate the rich cultural heritage associated with numbers in Tatar culture.
