=== Basic Cardinal Numbers ===


Cardinal numbers are the basic numbers used for counting and expressing quantities. In Halh Mongolian, the cardinal numbers are used extensively in various contexts, such as telling time, expressing age, and counting objects. It is crucial to familiarize yourself with these numbers to communicate effectively in the language. In this section, we will learn the cardinal numbers from zero to ten, and then explore larger numbers and their pronunciation. Let's begin!
Cardinal numbers are the numbers we use for counting. In Halh Mongolian, these numbers also play a significant role in various contexts. Let's start with the most fundamental numbers.


=== Numbers from Zero to Ten ===
==== Numbers from One to Ten ====


Here are the cardinal numbers from zero to ten in Halh Mongolian:
Here’s a table that outlines the basic cardinal numbers from one to ten in Halh Mongolian:

Take your time to practice pronouncing these numbers. It is essential to pay attention to the correct pronunciation to ensure effective communication. Let's move on to larger numbers!
As you can see, the structure of the numbers is quite straightforward. The pronunciation is similar to how they are spelled, which makes it easier for beginners to grasp.
 
==== Forming Numbers Beyond Ten ====
 
Once you’re comfortable with the numbers from one to ten, forming larger numbers becomes a breeze! Here’s how to extend cardinal numbers beyond ten:
 
* '''11 to 19:''' Combine the word for ten (арав, arav) with the numbers one to nine.
 
* For example, eleven is "арав нэг" (arav neg) and twelve is "арав хоёр" (arav khoyor).
 
* '''Multiples of Ten:''' For multiples of ten, simply use the word for the base number and add "ар" (ar) at the end.
 
* For example, twenty is "хорь" (khor), thirty is "гуч" (guch), and so on.
 
* '''Combining Numbers:''' For numbers like twenty-one, you combine the multiples of ten with the unit.
 
* For example, twenty-one is "хорь нэг" (khor neg), and twenty-two is "хорь хоёр" (khor khoyor).


=== Larger Numbers ===
Here is a table for reference:


In addition to the numbers from zero to ten, it is crucial to learn larger numbers to express quantities accurately. In Halh Mongolian, larger numbers are formed by combining the cardinal numbers with specific words. Here are a few examples:
{| class="wikitable"


* 11 - арван нэг (arvan neg) - eleven
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English
* 20 - хорин (khorin) - twenty
* 35 - гурван зургаа (gurvan zurgaa) - thirty-five
* 48 - дөрвөн найм (dörvön naim) - forty-eight
* 50 - таван (tavan) - fifty
* 100 - нэг зуун (neg zuun) - one hundred
* 1000 - нэг мянга (neg myanga) - one thousand


As you can see, larger numbers in Halh Mongolian follow a specific pattern, where the cardinal numbers are combined with words like "арван" (arvan) for eleven, "хорин" (khorin) for twenty, and so on. Make sure to practice these larger numbers to strengthen your understanding of counting and expressing quantities in Halh Mongolian.

== Cultural Insights ==
| арван нэг || arvan neg || eleven


Numbers play a significant role in Mongolian culture and have deep historical roots. The nomadic lifestyle of the Mongolian people has influenced the way numbers are perceived and used in daily life. For example, the number "нэг" (neg) meaning "one" is not only used for counting but also represents unity and harmony, reflecting the interconnectedness of the nomadic communities. Similarly, the number "арван" (arvan) meaning "ten" is associated with completeness and is often used in traditional Mongolian proverbs and sayings.

In addition to their symbolic meaning, numbers are also essential in traditional Mongolian games and rituals. The game of "шагай" (shagai), which involves throwing sheep anklebones, is often played with a set of four anklebones, each representing a different number. The outcome of the game is determined by the combination of numbers obtained from the anklebones, adding an element of chance and excitement to the gameplay.
| арван хоёр || arvan khoyor || twelve


Furthermore, numbers are also significant in Mongolian folklore and mythology. Many traditional stories and legends feature mystical creatures or characters associated with specific numbers. For example, the number "дөрөв" (döröv) meaning "four" is often associated with four magical animals representing the four cardinal directions in Mongolian mythology.

Understanding the cultural significance of numbers in Mongolian society adds depth and richness to your language learning journey. It allows you to appreciate the language in its broader cultural context and enhances your ability to connect with native speakers on a deeper level.

Basic Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Cardinal numbers are the numbers we use for counting. In Halh Mongolian, these numbers also play a significant role in various contexts. Let's start with the most fundamental numbers.

Numbers from One to Ten[edit | edit source]

Here’s a table that outlines the basic cardinal numbers from one to ten in Halh Mongolian:

Halh Mongolian Pronunciation English

гурван gurvan three
дөрөв döröv four
тав tav five

долоо doloo seven
найм naim eight
ес yes nine
арав arav ten

As you can see, the structure of the numbers is quite straightforward. The pronunciation is similar to how they are spelled, which makes it easier for beginners to grasp.

Forming Numbers Beyond Ten[edit | edit source]

Once you’re comfortable with the numbers from one to ten, forming larger numbers becomes a breeze! Here’s how to extend cardinal numbers beyond ten:

  • 11 to 19: Combine the word for ten (арав, arav) with the numbers one to nine.
  • For example, eleven is "арав нэг" (arav neg) and twelve is "арав хоёр" (arav khoyor).
  • Multiples of Ten: For multiples of ten, simply use the word for the base number and add "ар" (ar) at the end.
  • For example, twenty is "хорь" (khor), thirty is "гуч" (guch), and so on.
  • Combining Numbers: For numbers like twenty-one, you combine the multiples of ten with the unit.
  • For example, twenty-one is "хорь нэг" (khor neg), and twenty-two is "хорь хоёр" (khor khoyor).

Here is a table for reference:
