Hello everyone!

I am MJ Mahdizadeh and we have a new lesson on Farsi.

Today I am talking to you about numbers in Farsi.

First of all, we have these names for numbers in Farsi:

1 (یک-yek) 2 (دو-do) 3 (سه-se) 4 (چهار- Ch'har) 5 (پنج- panj) 6 (شش/شیش- shesh/shish) 7 (هفت- haft) 8 (هشت- hasht) 9 (نه-noh) 10 (ده- dah)

[0 is صفر-sefr]

When we want to use more numbers this happens:

20- بیست- bist

30- سی- si

40- چهل- chehel

50- پنجاه- panjah

60- شصت- shast

70- هفتاد- haftad

80- هشتاد- hashtad

90- نود- navad

100- صد- sad

1000- هزار- hezar

For numbers after 1000 it is like that:

2000= 2*1000 (دو هزار- do hezar)- 3000=3*1000 (سه هزار- se hezar) and... (all the other ones follow the same rule. It is also the same for million and billion and...

Look how we say this number:

5923: پنج هزار و نهصد و بیست و سه (panj hezar o noh sad o bist o se/ o means and)

I hope you have enjoyed this lesson.

Good luck.
