<h3>21-100</h3>
As you can see, Tosk Albanian has its own unique pronunciation and structure. It is essential to practice these numbers aloud to become comfortable with their sounds and forms.
<p>The numbers from twenty-one through to one hundred follow a logical pattern.</p>
 
=== Cardinal Numbers from 0 to 10 ===
 
Let’s examine the first ten cardinal numbers more closely. Understanding these basic numbers will aid in grasping the structure of higher numbers.
 
1. '''Zero (zero)''': This is the starting point of counting.
 
2. '''One (një)''': Often used to express singularity.
 
3. '''Two (dy)''': Used in pairing or duality.
 
4. '''Three (tre)''': Common in groupings or sets.
 
5. '''Four (katër)''': Important in various cultural contexts.
 
6. '''Five (pesë)''': Commonly seen in counting fingers or objects.
 
7. '''Six (gjashtë)''': Important in games or sports.
 
8. '''Seven (shtatë)''': Often linked with luck in various cultures.
 
9. '''Eight (tetë)''': A number with significance in many traditions.
 
10. '''Nine (nëntë)''': Used often in counting systems.
 
11. '''Ten (dhjetë)''': A milestone in counting, marking the end of the first decade.
 
=== Cardinal Numbers from 11 to 20 ===
 
Now, let’s look at the numbers from eleven to twenty. Notice how they are formed in Tosk Albanian.
 
1. '''Eleven (njëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "one" with "ten".
 
2. '''Twelve (dymbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "two" with "ten".
 
3. '''Thirteen (trembëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "three" with "ten".
 
4. '''Fourteen (katërmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "four" with "ten".
 
5. '''Fifteen (pesëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "five" with "ten".
 
6. '''Sixteen (gjashtëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "six" with "ten".
 
7. '''Seventeen (shtatëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "seven" with "ten".
 
8. '''Eighteen (tetëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "eight" with "ten".
 
9. '''Nineteen (nëntëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "nine" with "ten".
 
10. '''Twenty (njëzet)''': A round number that signifies the end of this section.
 
=== Larger Cardinal Numbers ===
 
After mastering the numbers from 0 to 20, it’s important to know how to express larger numbers. Here’s how numbers continue in Tosk Albanian:
 
1. '''Twenty-one (njëzet e një)''': Formed by combining "twenty" with "one".
 
2. '''Twenty-two (njëzet e dy)''': Formed by combining "twenty" with "two".
 
3. '''Thirty (tridhjetë)''': A new base number.
 
4. '''Forty (katërdhjetë)''': Another base number.
 
5. '''Fifty (pesëdhjetë)''': Another base number.
 
6. '''Sixty (gjashtdhjetë)''': Another base number.


{| class="wikitable"
7. '''Seventy (shtatëdhjetë)''': Another base number.
! Tosk Albanian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
8. '''Eighty (tetëdhjetë)''': Another base number.
| njëzetë e një || nyuh-zeh-tuh uh nyuh || twenty-one
 
|-
9. '''Ninety (nëntëdhjetë)''': Another base number.
| njëzetë e dy || nyuh-zeh-tuh uh dee || twenty-two
 
|-
10. '''One hundred (njëqind)''': The first three-digit number.
| tridhjetë || tree-jet-uh || thirty
 
|-
You can build on these by continuing to add the smaller numbers. For example, '''one hundred and one''' would be '''njëqind e një'''.
| dyzetë e pesë || dee-zeh-tuh uh peh-suh || forty-five

Introduction to Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Let's start by looking at the cardinal numbers in Tosk Albanian. Below is a table that illustrates the numbers from 0 to 20, along with their pronunciations and English translations.

As you can see, Tosk Albanian has its own unique pronunciation and structure. It is essential to practice these numbers aloud to become comfortable with their sounds and forms.

Cardinal Numbers from 0 to 10[edit | edit source]

Let’s examine the first ten cardinal numbers more closely. Understanding these basic numbers will aid in grasping the structure of higher numbers.

1. Zero (zero): This is the starting point of counting.

2. One (një): Often used to express singularity.

3. Two (dy): Used in pairing or duality.

4. Three (tre): Common in groupings or sets.

5. Four (katër): Important in various cultural contexts.

6. Five (pesë): Commonly seen in counting fingers or objects.

7. Six (gjashtë): Important in games or sports.

8. Seven (shtatë): Often linked with luck in various cultures.

9. Eight (tetë): A number with significance in many traditions.

10. Nine (nëntë): Used often in counting systems.

11. Ten (dhjetë): A milestone in counting, marking the end of the first decade.

Cardinal Numbers from 11 to 20[edit | edit source]

Now, let’s look at the numbers from eleven to twenty. Notice how they are formed in Tosk Albanian.

1. Eleven (njëmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "one" with "ten".

2. Twelve (dymbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "two" with "ten".

3. Thirteen (trembëdhjetë): Formed by combining "three" with "ten".

4. Fourteen (katërmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "four" with "ten".

5. Fifteen (pesëmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "five" with "ten".

6. Sixteen (gjashtëmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "six" with "ten".

7. Seventeen (shtatëmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "seven" with "ten".

8. Eighteen (tetëmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "eight" with "ten".

9. Nineteen (nëntëmbëdhjetë): Formed by combining "nine" with "ten".

10. Twenty (njëzet): A round number that signifies the end of this section.

Larger Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

After mastering the numbers from 0 to 20, it’s important to know how to express larger numbers. Here’s how numbers continue in Tosk Albanian:

1. Twenty-one (njëzet e një): Formed by combining "twenty" with "one".

2. Twenty-two (njëzet e dy): Formed by combining "twenty" with "two".

3. Thirty (tridhjetë): A new base number.

4. Forty (katërdhjetë): Another base number.

5. Fifty (pesëdhjetë): Another base number.

6. Sixty (gjashtdhjetë): Another base number.

7. Seventy (shtatëdhjetë): Another base number.

8. Eighty (tetëdhjetë): Another base number.

9. Ninety (nëntëdhjetë): Another base number.

10. One hundred (njëqind): The first three-digit number.

You can build on these by continuing to add the smaller numbers. For example, one hundred and one would be njëqind e një.
