Counting from 1 to 10[edit | edit source]
Counting in Tajik is relatively simple, as the numbers follow a regular pattern. Let's start with the numbers from 1 to 10:
| Tajik | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| як | [jæk] | one |
| ду | [du] | two |
| се | [se] | three |
| чор | [tʃor] | four |
| панҷ | [pændʒ] | five |
| шаш | [ʃæʃ] | six |
| ҳафт | [hæft] | seven |
| хашт | [hæʃt] | eight |
| нав | [næv] | nine |
| даҳ | [dæh] | ten |
In Tajik, the numbers from 11 to 19 are formed by adding the suffix -даҳ (meaning "ten") to the corresponding units. For example, "eleven" is дуваҳ ("two-ten"), "twelve" is севдаҳ ("three-ten"), and so on.
The multiples of ten in Tajik follow the same pattern as in English. For example, "twenty" is двадаҳ ("two-ten"), "thirty" is сиҳдаҳ ("three-ten"), and so on.
To form other numbers, Tajik uses a decimal system, in which the digits are placed in order from left to right, with the highest place value on the left. For example, the number 68 is хаштоду ("eight-ten-two").
Cultural significance of numbers[edit | edit source]
In Tajikistan, numbers have various cultural significances. For example, the number 7 is considered lucky, as it is associated with the seven days of the week and is believed to bring good fortune. On the other hand, the number 13 is considered unlucky, as it is associated with bad luck in many cultures around the world.
Interestingly, the number 9 is also considered to be somewhat unlucky in Tajik culture. This is because the Tajik word for "nine" (нав) sounds similar to the word for "naked" (ногӯл), which is considered to be a taboo subject.
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
In this lesson, we learned how to count from 1 to 10 in Tajik and discovered some interesting cultural facts related to numbers in Tajikistan. Remember, to improve your Tajik Vocabulary, you can use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions! 😊
