== Introduction ==
=== Numbers in Panjabi ===
 
Numbers are the building blocks of communication. They help us quantify, measure, and describe the world around us. In Panjabi, numbers are unique and can be quite different from their English counterparts, so let’s take a closer look.
 
==== Cardinal Numbers ====
 
First, let’s start with the basic '''cardinal numbers''' from 1 to 20. Below is a table that shows the Panjabi numbers alongside their pronunciation and English translation:

In this lesson, we will dive into the world of numbers and time in Panjabi. Numbers and time are essential for effective communication in any language, and Panjabi is no exception. Whether you want to tell the time, count objects, or discuss numerical information, having a strong grasp of Panjabi numbers and time expressions is crucial.
|-


This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Panjabi Course" and is designed for complete beginners. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently use Panjabi numbers, tell the time, and ask for the time in various contexts. We will also explore cultural aspects related to numbers and time in Panjabi-speaking regions.
| ੧ || ik || one


Let's get started!
|-


== Panjabi Numbers ==
| ੨ || do || two


=== Cardinal Numbers ===
|-


Cardinal numbers are used to count objects, people, or to express quantities. In Panjabi, the cardinal numbers are used in a similar way to English. Let's start by learning the numbers from 0 to 10:
| ੩ || tin || three


{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| ੦ || shūnnya || Zero
 
| ੪ || char || four
 
|-
|-
| ੧ || ikk || One
 
| ੫ || panj || five
 
|-
|-
| ੨ || do || Two
 
| ੬ || chhe || six
 
|-
|-
| ੩ || tin || Three
 
| ੭ || satt || seven
 
|-
|-
| ੪ || chār || Four
 
| ੮ || aath || eight
 
|-

| ੫ || pāñj || Five
 
| ੯ || nau || nine
 
|-

| ੬ || chẖe || Six
 
| ੧੦ || das || ten
 
|-
|-
| ੭ || sāt || Seven
 
| ੧੧ || gyaarah || eleven
 
|-
|-
| ੮ || aṭh || Eight
 
| ੧੨ || baarah || twelve
 
|-
|-
| ੯ || nau || Nine
 
| ੧੩ || tera || thirteen
 
|-
|-
| ੧੦ || das || Ten
|}


It's important to note that the Panjabi numerals are written in the Gurmukhi script, which is the official script of Panjabi. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the Gurmukhi characters and their corresponding sounds.
| ੧੪ || chaudah || fourteen
 
|-


Let's continue learning the numbers from 11 to 20:
| ੧੫ || pandrah || fifteen


{| class="wikitable"
! Panjabi !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
|-
| ੧੧ || gyārāh || Eleven
 
| ੧੬ || solah || sixteen
 
|-
|-
| ੧੨ || bārāh || Twelve
 
| ੧੭ || sathara || seventeen
 
|-
|-
| ੧੩ || terāh || Thirteen
 
| ੧੮ || atharah || eighteen
 
|-
|-
| ੧੪ || chaudah || Fourteen
 
| ੧੯ || unnish || nineteen
 
|-
|-
| ੧੫ || pāṇḍrah || Fifteen
 
| ੨੦ || bees || twenty
 
|}
 
Now that we have learned the numbers from 1 to 20, let’s discuss how to form numbers beyond that.
 
==== Forming Larger Numbers ====
 
In Panjabi, numbers beyond 20 are formed by combining the basic numbers. Here’s a quick guide on how to count up to 100:
 
* '''21''': Ik bees (ਇੱਕ ਵੀਸ)
 
* '''30''': Tees (ਤੀਸ)
 
* '''40''': Chalees (ਚਾਲੀਸ)
 
* '''50''': Pachaas (ਪਚਾਸ)
 
* '''60''': Saath (ਸਾਥ)
 
* '''70''': Sattar (ਸਤੱਰ)
 
* '''80''': Assi (ਅੱਸੀ)
 
* '''90''': Nabbe (ਨਬੇ)
 
* '''100''': Sau (ਸੌ)
 
To combine numbers, simply state the base number first, followed by the additional number. For example:
 
* '''22''': Bees do (ਵੀਸ ਦੋ)
 
* '''35''': Pichhe tees (ਪਿਛੇ ਤੀਸ)
 
Let’s practice with a few more examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Panjabi !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
|-
| ੧੬ || sohī || Sixteen
 
| ੪੦ || chalees || forty
 
|-
|-
| ੧੭ || sattārh || Seventeen
 
| ੬੦ || saath || sixty
 
|-
|-
| ੧੮ || aṭhārah || Eighteen
 
| ੮੦ || assi || eighty
 
|-
|-
| ੧੯ || unīs || Nineteen
 
| ੯੦ || nabbe || ninety
 
|-
|-
| ੨੦ || vis || Twenty
 
| ੧੦੦ || sau || one hundred
 
|}
|}


To form numbers from 21 onwards, simply combine the word for twenty (vis) with the respective unit. For example, 21 is visī ikk, 22 is visī do, and so on.
=== Telling Time in Panjabi ===


Let's practice counting from 1 to 20 in Panjabi:
Now that we have a solid understanding of numbers, let’s move on to '''telling time'''. Being able to ask for and express the time is crucial in daily conversations.


* ikk, do, tin, chār, pāñj, chẖe, sāt, aṭh, nau, das, gyārāh, bārāh, terāh, chaudah, pāṇḍrah, sohī, sattārh, aṭhārah, unīs, vis
==== Asking for the Time ====


Great job! Now that we have covered the basics of counting in Panjabi, let's move on to larger numbers.
To ask for the time in Panjabi, you can use the phrase:


=== Larger Numbers ===
* '''"ਕੀ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੈ?"''' (Kī samāṁ hai?) – "What time is it?"


To express larger numbers in Panjabi, we follow a similar pattern as in English. We combine the digits with the appropriate place value names to form the complete number. Let's take a look at some examples:
This is a common question you will use, and knowing how to respond is just as important.


* ੩੫ : tīhāṇ pāñj (Thirty-five)
==== Telling Time ====
* ੧੦੦ : sau (One hundred)
* ੪੫੬ : char sau chẖeṛānvī (Four hundred fifty-six)
* ੩,੭੨੮ : tīnn hazār sattāṇvī (Three thousand seven hundred twenty-eight)
* ੫੯,੪੦੧ : pachchās hazār cōṭhānī (Fifty-nine thousand four hundred one)
* ੧,੦੦,੦੦੦ : ik lakh (One hundred thousand)
* ੫,੩੪,੨੧੮ : panch lakh tīhāṇ cẖavīān (Five hundred thirty-four thousand two hundred eighteen)
* ੧,੦੦,੦੦,੦੦੦ : ik karōṛ (One million)


As you can see, Panjabi numbers follow a similar pattern to English when it comes to larger numbers. Take some time to practice reading and writing larger numbers in Panjabi.
In Panjabi, we typically express time using the 12-hour clock format. Here’s how you can state the time:


=== Ordinal Numbers ===
1. '''Hour''' + "ਵਜੇ" (vaje) + '''Minutes''' (if applicable)


Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position or order of something. In Panjabi, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix "-vāṃ" or "-vī" to the cardinal number. Let's take a look at some examples:
* For example, '''“5:00”''' is expressed as:
 
* '''“ਪੰਜ ਵਜੇ”''' (Panj vaje) - "It is 5 o'clock."
 
* For '''“6:30”''', you would say:
 
* '''“ਛੇ ਵਜੇ ਤੀਸ”''' (Chhe vaje tees) - "It is 6:30."
 
Here’s a table of common times expressed in Panjabi:


{| class="wikitable"

|-
| ੧ਵਾਂ || pahilā || First
 
| ੧ ਵਜੇ || ik vaje || 1 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੨ਵਾਂ || dūjā || Second
 
| ੨ ਵਜੇ || do vaje || 2 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੩ਵਾਂ || tījā || Third
 
| ੩ ਵਜੇ || tin vaje || 3 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੪ਵਾਂ || chauthā || Fourth
 
| ੪ ਵਜੇ || char vaje || 4 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੫ਵਾਂ || pañjvāṃ || Fifth
 
| ੫ ਵਜੇ || panj vaje || 5 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੬ਵਾਂ || chẖẖaṭhā || Sixth
 
| ੬ ਵਜੇ || chhe vaje || 6 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੭ਵਾਂ || sātvāṃ || Seventh
 
| ੭ ਵਜੇ || satt vaje || 7 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੮ਵਾਂ || aṭhvāṃ || Eighth
 
| ੮ ਵਜੇ || aath vaje || 8 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੯ਵਾਂ || navāṃ || Ninth
 
| ੯ ਵਜੇ || nau vaje || 9 o'clock
 
|-
|-
| ੧੦ਵਾਂ || dasvāṃ || Tenth
 
| ੧੦ ਵਜੇ || das vaje || 10 o'clock
 
|-
 
| ੧੧ ਵਜੇ || gyaarah vaje || 11 o'clock
 
|-
 
| ੧੨ ਵਜੇ || baarah vaje || 12 o'clock
 
|}
|}


To form ordinal numbers beyond ten, simply add the suffix "-vāṃ" or "-vī" to the respective cardinal number. For example, 11th is gyārāvāṃ, 12th is bārāvāṃ, and so on.
When expressing times with minutes, here’s how it works:


Let's practice some ordinal numbers in Panjabi:
* '''15 minutes past''': "ਵਜੇ ਪੰਦਰਾਂ" (vaje pandrāṁ)


* pahilā, dūjā, tījā, chauthā, pañjvāṃ, chẖẖaṭhā, sātvāṃ, aṭhvāṃ, navāṃ, dasvāṃ
* '''30 minutes past (half)''': "ਵਜੇ ਅੱਧੇ" (vaje adhē)


Well done! Now that we have covered Panjabi numbers, let's move on to telling time.
For example:


== Telling Time ==
* '''1:15''': '''“ਇੱਕ ਵਜੇ ਪੰਦਰਾਂ”''' (Ik vaje pandrāṁ) - "It is 1:15."


Telling time in Panjabi is quite straightforward once you familiarize yourself with the vocabulary and expressions related to time. Let's start with the basic vocabulary:
* '''3:30''': '''“ਤਿੰਨ ਵਜੇ ਅੱਧੇ”''' (Tinn vaje adhē) - "It is 3:30."
 
Now, let’s summarize some of the time expressions:


{| class="wikitable"

|-
| ਸਵੇਰ || savēr || Morning

| ੨:੦੦ || do vaje || 2:00

|-
| ਵਜੇ || vajē || O'Clock
 
|-
| ੯:੨੦ || nau vaje bees || 9:20
| ਮਿੰਟ || miṇṭ || Minute(s)
 
|}
|}


Now, let's learn how to tell the time in Panjabi. To express the hour, we use the cardinal numbers from 1 to 12. To indicate the minutes, we use the cardinal numbers from 1 to 59. Here are some examples:
=== Exercises ===
 
Now that you have grasped the concepts of numbers and telling time in Panjabi, it’s time to practice! Below are some exercises designed to reinforce what you’ve learned.

* ੪:੪੫ : char vajē pāṇḍrah miṇṭ (4:45)
* ੬:੩੦ : chẖe vajē tīhāṇ miṇṭ (6:30)


To express minutes past the hour, we simply state the minute value after the hour. For example, 8:15 is aṭh vajē pāñj miṇṭ. To express minutes to the hour, we state the remaining minutes until the next hour. For example, 8:45 is aṭh vajē pachchās miṇṭ.

Welcome to this engaging lesson on Panjabi Vocabulary! Today, we will explore two essential topics that will significantly enhance your ability to communicate in Panjabi: numbers and telling time. Understanding these concepts is vital, as they form the foundation for everyday conversations, whether you're shopping, scheduling appointments, or simply asking someone about their day.

In this lesson, you will learn how to:

  • Count from 1 to 20 in Panjabi.
  • Understand numbers beyond 20.
  • Ask for the time and express it in Panjabi.
  • Use vocabulary related to time effectively.

So, grab a notebook, and let's dive into the fascinating world of Panjabi numbers and time!

Numbers in Panjabi[edit | edit source]

Numbers are the building blocks of communication. They help us quantify, measure, and describe the world around us. In Panjabi, numbers are unique and can be quite different from their English counterparts, so let’s take a closer look.

Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

First, let’s start with the basic cardinal numbers from 1 to 20. Below is a table that shows the Panjabi numbers alongside their pronunciation and English translation:

੧੫ pandrah fifteen
੧੬ solah sixteen
੧੭ sathara seventeen
੧੮ atharah eighteen
੧੯ unnish nineteen
੨੦ bees twenty

Now that we have learned the numbers from 1 to 20, let’s discuss how to form numbers beyond that.

Forming Larger Numbers[edit | edit source]

In Panjabi, numbers beyond 20 are formed by combining the basic numbers. Here’s a quick guide on how to count up to 100:

  • 21: Ik bees (ਇੱਕ ਵੀਸ)
  • 30: Tees (ਤੀਸ)
  • 40: Chalees (ਚਾਲੀਸ)
  • 50: Pachaas (ਪਚਾਸ)
  • 60: Saath (ਸਾਥ)
  • 70: Sattar (ਸਤੱਰ)
  • 80: Assi (ਅੱਸੀ)
  • 90: Nabbe (ਨਬੇ)
  • 100: Sau (ਸੌ)

To combine numbers, simply state the base number first, followed by the additional number. For example:

  • 22: Bees do (ਵੀਸ ਦੋ)
  • 35: Pichhe tees (ਪਿਛੇ ਤੀਸ)

Let’s practice with a few more examples:

Panjabi Pronunciation English
੪੦ chalees forty
੬੦ saath sixty
੮੦ assi eighty
੯੦ nabbe ninety
੧੦੦ sau one hundred

Telling Time in Panjabi[edit | edit source]

Now that we have a solid understanding of numbers, let’s move on to telling time. Being able to ask for and express the time is crucial in daily conversations.

Asking for the Time[edit | edit source]

To ask for the time in Panjabi, you can use the phrase:

  • "ਕੀ ਸਮਾਂ ਹੈ?" (Kī samāṁ hai?) – "What time is it?"

This is a common question you will use, and knowing how to respond is just as important.

Telling Time[edit | edit source]

In Panjabi, we typically express time using the 12-hour clock format. Here’s how you can state the time:

1. Hour + "ਵਜੇ" (vaje) + Minutes (if applicable)

  • For example, “5:00” is expressed as:
  • “ਪੰਜ ਵਜੇ” (Panj vaje) - "It is 5 o'clock."
  • For “6:30”, you would say:
  • “ਛੇ ਵਜੇ ਤੀਸ” (Chhe vaje tees) - "It is 6:30."

Here’s a table of common times expressed in Panjabi:

Panjabi Pronunciation English
੧ ਵਜੇ ik vaje 1 o'clock
੨ ਵਜੇ do vaje 2 o'clock
੩ ਵਜੇ tin vaje 3 o'clock
੪ ਵਜੇ char vaje 4 o'clock
੫ ਵਜੇ panj vaje 5 o'clock
੬ ਵਜੇ chhe vaje 6 o'clock
੭ ਵਜੇ satt vaje 7 o'clock
੮ ਵਜੇ aath vaje 8 o'clock
੯ ਵਜੇ nau vaje 9 o'clock
੧੦ ਵਜੇ das vaje 10 o'clock
੧੧ ਵਜੇ gyaarah vaje 11 o'clock
੧੨ ਵਜੇ baarah vaje 12 o'clock

When expressing times with minutes, here’s how it works:

  • 15 minutes past: "ਵਜੇ ਪੰਦਰਾਂ" (vaje pandrāṁ)
  • 30 minutes past (half): "ਵਜੇ ਅੱਧੇ" (vaje adhē)

For example:

  • 1:15: “ਇੱਕ ਵਜੇ ਪੰਦਰਾਂ” (Ik vaje pandrāṁ) - "It is 1:15."
  • 3:30: “ਤਿੰਨ ਵਜੇ ਅੱਧੇ” (Tinn vaje adhē) - "It is 3:30."

Now, let’s summarize some of the time expressions:

Panjabi Pronunciation English
੧:੦੦ ik vaje 1:00
੨:੦੦ do vaje 2:00
੪:੧੦ char vaje das 4:10
੬:੓੦ chhe vaje adhē 6:30
੯:੨੦ nau vaje bees 9:20
