Numbers 1-5

Let's start with numbers 1-5. The numbers are listed below in Tosk Albanian along with transliteration and English translation:

Tosk Albanian	Pronunciation	English
një	[ɲə]	one
dy	[də]	two
tre	[trə]	three
katër	[kətəɾ]	four
pesë	[pɛsə]	five

Here are some examples on how to use these numbers in context:

Dialogue:

• Person 1: Unë kam një mace. ([I have one cat.])
• Person 2: Unë kam dy qen. ([I have two dogs.])

Did you notice that the noun "cat" and "dog" are in the indefinite form? In Albanian, we use the indefinite noun form after the number one "një".

Numbers 6-10

Now let's move on to numbers 6-10. Here they are:

Tosk Albanian	Pronunciation	English
gjashtë	[dʒaʃtə]	six
shtatë	[ʃtatə]	seven
tetë	[tɛtə]	eight
nëntë	[nəntə]	nine
dhjetë	[ðjɛtə]	ten

Let's practice some more with examples:

Dialogue:

• Person 1: Unë kam gjashtë fëmijë. ([I have six children.])
• Person 2: Në klasë ka tetë nxënës. ([There are eight students in the class.])

Did you notice that we use the plural form of the noun after the numbers 2-10? In Albanian, it is important to match the number with the noun's gender and case.
