=== Numbers 1 to 10 ===
=== Cardinal Numbers ===


Here are the numbers from 1 to 10 in Halh Mongolian:
Cardinal numbers are the basic numbers we use for counting. They tell us "how many" of something there are. In Halh Mongolian, these numbers play a crucial role in everyday conversations. Below is a comprehensive list of cardinal numbers from 1 to 20.

|-
|-

| 9 || ес (yes) || nine  
 
|-
|-

|}


Take your time to practice pronouncing each number correctly. Pay attention to the unique sounds in Halh Mongolian, such as the "х" in "хоёр" and the "ө" in "дөрөв."
| 10 || арав (arav) || ten


=== Numbers 11 to 20 ===
|-


To form numbers from 11 to 20 in Halh Mongolian, you need to combine the word for "ten" (арав) with the numbers from 1 to 9. Let's take a look:
| 11 || арван нэг (arvan neg) || eleven


{| class="wikitable"
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
|-
| арван нэг || arvan neg || eleven
 
| 12 || арван хоёр (arvan khoyor) || twelve
 
|-
|-
| арван хоёр || arvan khoyor || twelve
 
| 13 || арван гурван (arvan gurban) || thirteen
 
|-
|-
| арван гурав || arvan gurav || thirteen
 
| 14 || арван дөрвөн (arvan dörvön) || fourteen
 
|-
|-
| арван дөрөв || arvan dorov || fourteen
 
| 15 || арван тав (arvan tav) || fifteen
 
|-
|-
| арван тав || arvan tav || fifteen
 
| 16 || арван зургаан (arvan zurgan) || sixteen
 
|-
|-
| арван зургаа || arvan zurgaa || sixteen
 
| 17 || арван долоон (arvan doloon) || seventeen
 
|-
|-
| арван долоо || arvan doloo || seventeen
 
| 18 || арван найман (arvan naiman) || eighteen
 
|-
|-
| арван найм || arvan naim || eighteen
 
| 19 || арван ес (arvan yes) || nineteen
 
|-
|-
| арван ес || arvan es || nineteen
 
|-
| 20 || хорин (khorin) || twenty  
| хорин || khorin || twenty
 
|}
|}


Notice that the numbers from 11 to 19 are formed by combining "арван" with the corresponding number from 1 to 9. However, the number 20 is expressed as "хорин" on its own.
To express larger numbers, you can combine these cardinal numbers with multiples of ten, such as:


=== Numbers 30, 40, 50, and Beyond ===
* 21: хорин нэг (khorin neg) - twenty-one


To form numbers from 30 onwards, the pattern continues. You combine the word for the tens digit (such as "арван" for 20) with the units digit (such as "гурав" for 3). Here are some examples:
* 30: гучин (guchin) - thirty


{| class="wikitable"
* 40: дөчин (döchin) - forty
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| гуч || guch || thirty
|-
| дөч || doch || forty
|-
| тавч || tavch || fifty
|-
| зургач || zurgach || sixty
|-
| долооч || dolooch || seventy
|-
| наймч || naimch || eighty
|-
| есч || esch || ninety
|-
| зуун || zuun || one hundred
|}


As you can see, the numbers from 30 to 90 are formed by combining the word for the tens digit with the suffix "-ч" (pronounced "ch"), which means "ten." The word for "one hundred" is "зуун."
* 100: зуун (zuun) - hundred


== Ordinal Numbers ==
=== Ordinal Numbers ===


Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position or order of something. In Halh Mongolian, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix "-дугаар" (pronounced "doogar") to the cardinal number. Let's look at some examples:
Ordinal numbers, on the other hand, indicate the position or order of something in a series. For example, "first," "second," and "third." In Halh Mongolian, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix “-д” to the cardinal number. Let's take a look at the first ten ordinal numbers:

| 2nd || 2-р (khoyor-r) || second  
 
|-
|-
| гуравдугаар || guravdugaar || third
 
| 3rd || 3-р (gurban-r) || third  
 
|-
|-
| дөрөвдүгээр || dorovdügeer || fourth
 
| 4th || 4-р (dörvön-r) || fourth  
 
|-
|-
| тавдугаар || tavdugaar || fifth
 
| 5th || 5-р (tav-r) || fifth  
 
|-
|-
| зургаадугаар || zurgaadugaar || sixth
 
| 6th || 6-р (zurgan-r) || sixth  
 
|-
|-
| долоодугаар || doloodugaar || seventh
 
| 7th || 7-р (doloon-r) || seventh  
 
|-
|-
| наймдугаар || naimdugaar || eighth
 
| 8th || 8-р (naiman-r) || eighth  
 
|-
|-
| есдүгээр || esdügeer || ninth
 
| 9th || 9-р (yes-r) || ninth  
 
|-
|-
| аравдугаар || aravdugaar || tenth
 
| 10th || 10-р (arav-r) || tenth  
 
|}
|}


Remember to pay attention to the pronunciation of the suffix "-дугаар" and practice saying each ordinal number correctly.
To form ordinals beyond ten, keep using the same pattern. For instance:
 
* 11th: 11-р (arvan neg-r) - eleventh
 
* 20th: 20-р (khorin-r) - twentieth
 
=== Different Counting Systems ===


== Counting Systems ==
In Halh Mongolian, different counting systems are used based on the type of objects being counted. Here are some examples of how counting varies:


In addition to cardinal and ordinal numbers, Halh Mongolian also has different counting systems depending on the object being counted. Let's explore some of these counting systems and the objects they are used for.
* '''People''': For counting people, you use the suffix “-н” after the number.


=== Counting People ===
* '''Animals''': For animals, the suffix “-г” is used instead.


When counting people in Halh Mongolian, you use the counting system "хүний." Here are the numbers from 1 to 10 in the "хүний" counting system:
* '''Flat objects''': Flat objects such as paper or plates use the suffix “-аар” for counting.
 
Let's see a practical application of these counting systems:

Halh Mongolian → Vocabulary → 0 to A1 Course → Numbers and Counting

Welcome to our lesson on "Numbers and Counting" in Halh Mongolian! Understanding numbers is essential for daily communication, whether you're shopping, telling time, or simply counting objects. In this lesson, we will explore cardinal and ordinal numbers, as well as the various counting systems used for different objects in Halh Mongolian. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid grasp of how to use numbers in conversation and various contexts.

In this lesson, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction to Cardinal Numbers: What they are and how to use them.
  • Introduction to Ordinal Numbers: Understanding their significance in everyday language.
  • Counting Systems: Different methods of counting for various objects.
  • Practice Exercises: Apply what you've learned through engaging activities.

Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Cardinal numbers are the basic numbers we use for counting. They tell us "how many" of something there are. In Halh Mongolian, these numbers play a crucial role in everyday conversations. Below is a comprehensive list of cardinal numbers from 1 to 20.

Halh Mongolian Pronunciation English
1 нэг (neg) one
2 хоёр (khoyor) two
3 гурван (gurban) three
4 дөрвөн (dörvön) four
5 тав (tav) five
6 зургаан (zurgan) six
7 долоон (doloon) seven
8 найман (naiman) eight
9 ес (yes) nine
10 арав (arav) ten
11 арван нэг (arvan neg) eleven
12 арван хоёр (arvan khoyor) twelve
13 арван гурван (arvan gurban) thirteen
14 арван дөрвөн (arvan dörvön) fourteen
15 арван тав (arvan tav) fifteen
16 арван зургаан (arvan zurgan) sixteen
17 арван долоон (arvan doloon) seventeen
18 арван найман (arvan naiman) eighteen
19 арван ес (arvan yes) nineteen
20 хорин (khorin) twenty

To express larger numbers, you can combine these cardinal numbers with multiples of ten, such as:

  • 21: хорин нэг (khorin neg) - twenty-one
  • 30: гучин (guchin) - thirty
  • 40: дөчин (döchin) - forty
  • 100: зуун (zuun) - hundred

Ordinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers, on the other hand, indicate the position or order of something in a series. For example, "first," "second," and "third." In Halh Mongolian, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix “-д” to the cardinal number. Let's take a look at the first ten ordinal numbers:

Halh Mongolian Pronunciation English
1st 1-р (neg-r) first
2nd 2-р (khoyor-r) second
3rd 3-р (gurban-r) third
4th 4-р (dörvön-r) fourth
5th 5-р (tav-r) fifth
6th 6-р (zurgan-r) sixth
7th 7-р (doloon-r) seventh
8th 8-р (naiman-r) eighth
9th 9-р (yes-r) ninth
10th 10-р (arav-r) tenth

To form ordinals beyond ten, keep using the same pattern. For instance:

  • 11th: 11-р (arvan neg-r) - eleventh
  • 20th: 20-р (khorin-r) - twentieth

Different Counting Systems[edit | edit source]

In Halh Mongolian, different counting systems are used based on the type of objects being counted. Here are some examples of how counting varies:

  • People: For counting people, you use the suffix “-н” after the number.
  • Animals: For animals, the suffix “-г” is used instead.
  • Flat objects: Flat objects such as paper or plates use the suffix “-аар” for counting.

Let's see a practical application of these counting systems:

Object Type Halh Mongolian Pronunciation English
People (2) хоёр хүн (khoyor khün) two people
Animals (3) гурван нохой (gurban nokhoi) three dogs
Flat objects (4) дөрвөн цаас (dörvön tsaas) four sheets of paper

Understanding these nuances enhances your ability to communicate effectively in various situations.
