Welcome to the lesson on '''Standard Estonian Vocabulary → Numbers and Counting'''! Understanding numbers is essential for everyday communication, whether you're shopping, telling time, or just counting objects. In this lesson, we will take a deep dive into Estonian numbers from 1 to 100, exploring their pronunciation and usage in various contexts. By the end of this lesson, you will be comfortable with counting in Estonian and using numbers in your daily conversations. | |||

=== Importance of Numbers in Estonian === | |||
Numbers are foundational elements of any language. They help us quantify, measure, and navigate through daily life. In Estonian, numbers are not only used for counting but also play a role in expressing time, prices, and quantities. Mastering numbers will significantly enhance your ability to communicate effectively in Estonian. | |||
=== Structure of the Lesson === | |||
This lesson is structured as follows: | |||
* '''Introduction to Numbers''': We will cover the basic numbers from 1 to 10, followed by 11 to 100. | |||
* '''Examples''': Each number will be illustrated with examples to help you understand their pronunciation and context. | |||
* '''Exercises''': We will practice what we've learned with interactive exercises, complete with solutions for self-assessment. | |||
== Introduction to Numbers == | |||
=== Numbers 1 to 10 === | |||
Let’s start with the numbers from 1 to 10. Here’s a useful table to help you get familiar with their pronunciation and English translations: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Standard Estonian !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |||
| üks || [ʏks] || one | |||
|- | |||
| kaks || [kɑks] || two | |||

|- | |||
| kümme || [ˈkʏ.mɛ] || ten | |||
|} | |||
=== Numbers 11 to 20 === | |||
Continuing on, here are the numbers from 11 to 20: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||

|- | |||
| üksteist || [ˈʏks.teɪst] || eleven | |||
|- | |||
| kaksteist || [ˈkɑks.teɪst] || twelve | |||
|- | |||
| kolmteist || [ˈkɔlm.teɪst] || thirteen | |||
|- | |||

|- | |||
| üheksateist || [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ.teɪst] || nineteen | |||
|- | |||
| kakskümmend || [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd] || twenty | |||
|} | |||
=== Numbers 21 to 100 === | |||
Now, let’s explore how we form numbers from 21 to 100. Numbers 21-29 are formed by combining "kakskümmend" (twenty) with the numbers 1-9. For example: | |||
* 21: kakskümmend üks [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd ʏks] (twenty-one) | |||
* 22: kakskümmend kaks [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd kɑks] (twenty-two) | |||
* Continue this pattern up to 29. | |||
Here’s how the tens are structured: | |||
* 30: kolmkümmend [ˈkɔlm.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 40: nelikümmend [ˈne.li.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 50: viiskümmend [ˈviːs.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 60: kuuskümmend [ˈkuːs.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 70: seitsekümmend [ˈseɪt͡sɛ.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 80: kaheksakümmend [ˈkɑ.ħɛk.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 90: üheksakümmend [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd] | |||
* 100: sada [ˈsɑ.dɑ] | |||
And we can demonstrate this pattern in a table: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Standard Estonian !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |||
| kakskümmend üks || [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd ʏks] || twenty-one | |||
|- | |||
| kakskümmend kaks || [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd kɑks] || twenty-two | |||
|- | |||
| kakskümmend kolm || [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd kɔlm] || twenty-three | |||
|- | |||
| kakskümmend neli || [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd ˈne.li] || twenty-four | |||
|- | |||
| kakskümmend viis || [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd viːs] || twenty-five | |||
|- | |||
| kolmkümmend || [ˈkɔlm.kʏ.mɛnd] || thirty | |||
|- | |||
| nelikümmend || [ˈne.li.kʏ.mɛnd] || forty | |||
|- | |||
| viiskümmend || [ˈviːs.kʏ.mɛnd] || fifty | |||
|- | |||
| kuuskümmend || [ˈkuːs.kʏ.mɛnd] || sixty | |||
|- | |||
| seitsekümmend || [ˈseɪt͡sɛ.kʏ.mɛnd] || seventy | |||
|- | |||
| kaheksakümmend || [ˈkɑ.ħɛk.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd] || eighty | |||
|- | |||
| üheksakümmend || [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd] || ninety | |||
|- | |||
| sada || [ˈsɑ.dɑ] || one hundred | |||
|} | |||

Welcome to the lesson on Standard Estonian Vocabulary → Numbers and Counting! Understanding numbers is essential for everyday communication, whether you're shopping, telling time, or just counting objects. In this lesson, we will take a deep dive into Estonian numbers from 1 to 100, exploring their pronunciation and usage in various contexts. By the end of this lesson, you will be comfortable with counting in Estonian and using numbers in your daily conversations.
Importance of Numbers in Estonian[edit | edit source]
Numbers are foundational elements of any language. They help us quantify, measure, and navigate through daily life. In Estonian, numbers are not only used for counting but also play a role in expressing time, prices, and quantities. Mastering numbers will significantly enhance your ability to communicate effectively in Estonian.
Structure of the Lesson[edit | edit source]
This lesson is structured as follows:
- Introduction to Numbers: We will cover the basic numbers from 1 to 10, followed by 11 to 100.
- Examples: Each number will be illustrated with examples to help you understand their pronunciation and context.
- Exercises: We will practice what we've learned with interactive exercises, complete with solutions for self-assessment.
Introduction to Numbers[edit | edit source]
Numbers 1 to 10[edit | edit source]
Let’s start with the numbers from 1 to 10. Here’s a useful table to help you get familiar with their pronunciation and English translations:
Standard Estonian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
üks | [ʏks] | one |
kaks | [kɑks] | two |
kolm | [kɔlm] | three |
neli | [ˈne.li] | four |
viis | [viːs] | five |
kuus | [kuːs] | six |
seitse | [ˈseɪ.t͡sɛ] | seven |
kaheksa | [ˈkɑ.ħɛk.sɑ] | eight |
üheksa | [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ] | nine |
kümme | [ˈkʏ.mɛ] | ten |
Numbers 11 to 20[edit | edit source]
Continuing on, here are the numbers from 11 to 20:
Standard Estonian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
üksteist | [ˈʏks.teɪst] | eleven |
kaksteist | [ˈkɑks.teɪst] | twelve |
kolmteist | [ˈkɔlm.teɪst] | thirteen |
neliteist | [ˈne.li.teɪst] | fourteen |
viisteist | [ˈviːs.teɪst] | fifteen |
kuusteist | [ˈkuːs.teɪst] | sixteen |
seitseteist | [ˈseɪt͡sɛ.teɪst] | seventeen |
kaheksateist | [ˈkɑ.ħɛk.sɑ.teɪst] | eighteen |
üheksateist | [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ.teɪst] | nineteen |
kakskümmend | [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd] | twenty |
Numbers 21 to 100[edit | edit source]
Now, let’s explore how we form numbers from 21 to 100. Numbers 21-29 are formed by combining "kakskümmend" (twenty) with the numbers 1-9. For example:
- 21: kakskümmend üks [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd ʏks] (twenty-one)
- 22: kakskümmend kaks [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd kɑks] (twenty-two)
- Continue this pattern up to 29.
Here’s how the tens are structured:
- 30: kolmkümmend [ˈkɔlm.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 40: nelikümmend [ˈne.li.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 50: viiskümmend [ˈviːs.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 60: kuuskümmend [ˈkuːs.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 70: seitsekümmend [ˈseɪt͡sɛ.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 80: kaheksakümmend [ˈkɑ.ħɛk.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 90: üheksakümmend [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd]
- 100: sada [ˈsɑ.dɑ]
And we can demonstrate this pattern in a table:
Standard Estonian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
kakskümmend üks | [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd ʏks] | twenty-one |
kakskümmend kaks | [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd kɑks] | twenty-two |
kakskümmend kolm | [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd kɔlm] | twenty-three |
kakskümmend neli | [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd ˈne.li] | twenty-four |
kakskümmend viis | [ˈkɑks.kʏ.mɛnd viːs] | twenty-five |
kolmkümmend | [ˈkɔlm.kʏ.mɛnd] | thirty |
nelikümmend | [ˈne.li.kʏ.mɛnd] | forty |
viiskümmend | [ˈviːs.kʏ.mɛnd] | fifty |
kuuskümmend | [ˈkuːs.kʏ.mɛnd] | sixty |
seitsekümmend | [ˈseɪt͡sɛ.kʏ.mɛnd] | seventy |
kaheksakümmend | [ˈkɑ.ħɛk.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd] | eighty |
üheksakümmend | [ˈy.ɪɡ.sɑ.kʏ.mɛnd] | ninety |
sada | [ˈsɑ.dɑ] | one hundred |
