=== Numbers from Eleven to Nineteen ===
|-


In Tosk Albanian, numbers from eleven to nineteen follow a similar pattern as in English, where the numbers are formed by combining the words for ten and the corresponding single digit. Here are the numbers from eleven to nineteen in Tosk Albanian:
| dhjetë || ˈðjɛ.tə || ten


{| class="wikitable"

Notice that the word "dhjetë" is added to the corresponding single digit to form these numbers. For example, "njëmbëdhjetë" is formed by combining "një" (one) and "dhjetë" (ten). This pattern continues for the rest of the numbers from eleven to nineteen.
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 ===
 
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.

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".


=== Multiples of Ten ===
4. '''Fourteen (katërmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "four" with "ten".


After the number ten, Tosk Albanian follows a pattern similar to English and many other languages. The numbers from twenty to ninety are formed by combining the word for the corresponding multiple of ten with the single digit. Here are the multiples of ten in Tosk Albanian:
5. '''Fifteen (pesëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "five" with "ten".


{| class="wikitable"
6. '''Sixteen (gjashtëmbëdhjetë)''': Formed by combining "six" with "ten".

|-
=== Larger Cardinal Numbers ===
| gjashtëdhjetë || /ɟaʃˈtəd͡ʒɛtə/ || sixty
 
|-
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:
| shtatëdhjetë || /ʃtaˈtəd͡ʒɛtə/ || seventy
 
|-
1. '''Twenty-one (njëzet e një)''': Formed by combining "twenty" with "one".
| tetëdhjetë || /tɛˈtəd͡ʒɛtə/ || eighty
 
|-
2. '''Twenty-two (njëzet e dy)''': Formed by combining "twenty" with "two".
| nëntëdhjetë || /nənˈtəd͡ʒɛtə/ || ninety
 
|}
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.

=== Exercise 3: Translate the Following Phrases ===


Similar to the English language, the word for the single digit is added to the multiple of ten to form these numbers. For example, "tridhjetë" is formed by combining "tri" (three) and "dhjetë" (ten). Again, pay attention to the pronunciation guide provided for each number.
1. Dy mollë


=== Larger Numbers ===
2. Pesëmbëdhjetë nxënës


In Tosk Albanian, larger numbers are formed by combining the words for the hundreds, thousands, and millions with the corresponding number. Here is a table to help you understand the formation of larger numbers in Tosk Albanian:
3. Shtatë ditë


{| class="wikitable"
4. Tetë libra
! Tosk Albanian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| një qind || /ɲə cind/ || one hundred
|-
| dy qind || /di cind/ || two hundred
|-
| tre qind || /tɾɛ cind/ || three hundred
|-
| një mijë || /ɲə miˈjə/ || one thousand
|-
| dy mijë || /di miˈjə/ || two thousand
|-
| një milion || /ɲə miˈliːɔn/ || one million
|}


To form larger numbers, simply combine the word for the corresponding unit (hundred, thousand, or million) with the number. For example, "dy mijë" means two thousand, and "tre qind" means three hundred.
5. Nëntëmbëdhjetë vjet


=== Examples ===
=== Exercise 4: Count in Tosk Albanian ===


Let's practice counting in Tosk Albanian with some examples:
* zero, një, dy, tre, katër, pesë, gjashtë, shtatë, tetë, nëntë, dhjetë, njëmbëdhjetë, dymbëdhjetë, trembëdhjetë, katërmbëdhjetë, pesëmbëdhjetë, gjashtëmbëdhjetë, shtatëmbëdhjetë, tetëmbëdhjetë, nëntëmbëdhjetë, njëzet


* Unë kam pesë librave në raft. (I have five books on the shelf.)
=== Exercise 5: Create Sentences ===
* Ai ka dy motra dhe tre vëllezër. (He has two sisters and three brothers.)
* Shkolla është katërmbëdhjetë metra larg. (The school is fourteen meters away.)
* Shtëpia ime ka tetëdhjetë dhoma. (My house has eighty rooms.)


As you can see, understanding cardinal numbers is crucial for expressing quantities, distances, and many other aspects of everyday life.
1. Kam tre libër. (I have three books.)


== Regional Variations and Cultural Insights ==
2. Kam dhjetë vjet. (I am ten years old.)


While cardinal numbers are generally consistent across different regions of Tosk Albanian-speaking areas, there may be slight variations in pronunciation or usage. For example, some regions may have specific dialectal variations in the pronunciation of certain numbers. It's always interesting to explore these regional differences and appreciate the linguistic diversity within Tosk Albanian.
3. Kam pesëmbëdhjetë miq. (I have fifteen friends.)


In terms of cultural insights, numbers play an important role in Albanian folklore and traditions. For instance, certain numbers are considered lucky or unlucky in Albanian culture. The number three, for example, is often associated with good luck and is considered a symbol of harmony. On the other hand, the number thirteen is often associated with bad luck and is considered unlucky by many. It's fascinating to explore these cultural beliefs and their impact on the usage and interpretation of numbers in Tosk Albanian.

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".

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.
