Cardinal numbers 1-10

Let's begin with the basic cardinal numbers from 1-10 in Standard Arabic. Below is a table that displays the numbers in Arabic, their pronunciation using Latin script, and their English translations:

Standard Arabic Pronunciation English
واحد waaHid one
اثنان ithnaan two
ثلاثة thalaatha three
أربعة arbaʿa four
خمسة khamsa five
ستة sitta six
سبعة sabʿa seven
ثمانية thamaaniya eight
تسعة tisʿa nine
عشرة ʿashara ten

Cardinal numbers 11-100

To form the numbers 11-19 in Arabic, you simply add the number from 1-9 to the word "عشرة" (ʿashara), which means "ten". So, for example, 11 in Arabic is "أحد عشر" (aHad ʿashar), which means "one ten". Here are the numbers 11-19 in Arabic:

  • أحد عشر (aHad ʿashar) – eleven
  • اثنا عشر (ithnaa ʿashar) – twelve
  • ثلاثة عشر (thalaatha ʿashar) – thirteen
  • أربعة عشر (arbaʿa ʿashar) – fourteen
  • خمسة عشر (khamsa ʿashar) – fifteen
  • ستة عشر (sitta ʿashar) – sixteen
  • سبعة عشر (sabʿa ʿashar) – seventeen
  • ثمانية عشر (thamaaniya ʿashar) – eighteen
  • تسعة عشر (tisʿa ʿashar) – nineteen

To form the numbers 20-100 in Arabic, you need to follow a similar pattern to English. For example, the number 23 in Arabic is "ثلاثة و عشرون" (thalaatha wa ʿishruun), which means "three and twenty". Here are the numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 in Arabic:

  • عشرون (ʿishruun) – twenty
  • ثلاثون (thalathiin) – thirty
  • أربعون (arbaʿiin) – forty
  • خمسون (khamsiin) – fifty
  • ستون (sittiin) – sixty
  • سبعون (sabʿiin) – seventy
  • ثمانون (thamaaniin) – eighty
  • تسعون (tisʿiin) – ninety
  • مائة (mi'ah) – one hundred

Important cultural information about using numbers in Arabic

In addition to the standard use of numbers, there are some important cultural aspects to be aware of when using numbers in Arabic. For example, the number 7 is considered lucky in Arabic culture, and is sometimes used in people's names or on items for sale. The number 13, on the other hand, is considered unlucky in Arabic culture.

Another important cultural aspect of using numbers in Arabic is the difference between the decimal separator and the thousands separator. Unlike in English, where a comma is used as the thousands separator and a period is used as the decimal separator, Arabic uses the opposite convention. A comma is used as the decimal separator in Arabic, and a period is used as the thousands separator. For example, the Arabic equivalent of 1,000.50 would be written as "1.000,50".
