Here is a quick overview of the numbers in Telugu:

== Telugu Numbers ==


Telugu has its own numbering system, which is different from the Arabic numerals that we usually use. Telugu numbers are written from left to right, where the digits are arranged in groups of two. Here are the Telugu numerals from 1 to 10:
| 8 || ఎనిమిది (enimiḍi) || Eight
 
|-
 
| 9 || తొమ్మిది (tommidi) || Nine
 
|-
 
| 10 || పది (padi) || Ten
 
|}
 
Now, let’s explore how to count from 11 to 20.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

| 11 || పదకొండు (padakoṇḍu) || Eleven

|-
| 14 || పద్ధెనాలుగు (padhēnālugu) || Fourteen
|-
|-
| ఒక || Ok || One
 
| 15 || పద్దెనిమిది (padhēnidi) || Fifteen

| 18 || పద్దెనిమిది (paddēnidi) || Eighteen
 
|-
 
| 19 || పద్దెనొమ్మిది (paddēnommidi) || Nineteen
 
|-
 
| 20 || ఇరవై (iraveyi) || Twenty
 
|}
 
=== Counting by Tens ===
 
Once you've mastered the numbers from 1 to 20, it’s time to learn how to count by tens.
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Telugu !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| 30 || ముప్పై (muppai) || Thirty
 
|-
 
| 40 || నలభై (nalabhai) || Forty
 
|-
|-
| ఐదు || Aidu || Five
 
| 50 || యాభై (yābhai) || Fifty
 
|-
|-
| ఆరు || Aaru || Six
 
| 60 || అరవై (aravai) || Sixty
 
|-
|-
| ఏడు || Eadu || Seven
 
| 70 || డొబ్బై (ḍobbai) || Seventy
 
|-
|-
| ఎనిమిది || Enimidhi || Eight
 
| 80 || ఎనభై (enabhai) || Eighty
 
|-
|-
| తొమ్మిది || Thommidhi || Nine
 
| 90 || తొంభై (tōmbhai) || Ninety
 
|-
|-
| పది || Padi || Ten
 
| 100 || వంద (vanda) || One hundred
 
|}
|}


To form higher numbers, we combine these digits with the Telugu word for "ten" - పదము (padamu). For example:
=== Forming Larger Numbers ===


* 11 - పదకొండు (padakondu)
In Telugu, larger numbers are formed by combining the basic numbers. For example, 21 is "ఇరవై ఒకటి" (iraveyi okaṭi), which literally means "twenty-one."
* 12 - పదరెండు (padareṇḍu)
* 20 - ఇరవై (iravai)
* 30 - ముప్పై (muppai)
* 100 - నూరు (nūru)


As we can see from the Telugu numerals, counting in Telugu can be quite interesting and even fun once you get the hang of it. It is also worth noting that Telugu has its own symbols for representing larger numbers, such as లక్ష (lakṣa) for "one hundred thousand" and కోటి (kōṭi) for "ten million".
Here’s how you can form numbers from 21 to 99:


== Useful Phrases ==
* 21: ఇరవై ఒకటి (iraveyi okaṭi)


Knowing the Telugu numerals can be quite useful in many situations, especially when you need to give someone your phone number or ask about prices. Here are some useful Telugu phrases you can use:
* 22: ఇరవై రెండు (iraveyi reṇḍu)


* నేను ఒక నుండి పద వరకు లెక్కిస్తున్నాను (Nēnu ok nuṇḍi pada varaku lekkistunnānu) - I am counting from one to ten.
* 23: ఇరవై మూడు (iraveyi mūḍu)
* మీ ఫోన్ నంబర్ ఎందుకు లేదు? (Mī phōn nambaru enduku lēdu?) - Why don’t you give me your phone number?
* ఈ విషయంలో కోటి కూడా ఉన్నాయి (Ī viṣayaṁlō kōṭi kūḍā unnāyi) - This matter involves a lot of money.


== Interesting Facts ==
* 31: ముప్పై ఒకటి (muppai okaṭi)


Did you know that Telugu is the third most spoken language in India with over 85 million speakers? Telugu is also one of the twenty-two official languages of India and is the primary language spoken in the state of Andhra Pradesh and the Union Territory of Puducherry.
* 42: నలభై రెండు (nalabhai reṇḍu)


Moreover, Telugu numbers have a rich historical significance in the Indian subcontinent. The origins of Telugu numerals date back to the Satavahana dynasty, which ruled over the Deccan region from the second century BCE to the third century CE. The Satavahanas were known for their advancements in science, literature, and mathematics, and they contributed significantly to the development of the Telugu numbering system.
* 56: యాభై ఆరు (yābhai āru)


In conclusion, learning Telugu numerals is an essential aspect of speaking Telugu fluently. By mastering the numerals, you will be able to communicate more effectively with Telugu speakers and gain a deeper appreciation of Telugu culture and heritage.
* 79: డొబ్బై తొమ్మిది (ḍobbai tommidi)
 
* 85: ఎనభై ఐదు (enabhai aidu)
 
=== Practical Applications of Numbers ===
