Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will learn how to count from 1 to 20 in Western Frisian. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and knowing how to count is crucial for everyday communication. We will also practice the pronunciation of each number to ensure accuracy and fluency in speaking Western Frisian.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently count from 1 to 20 and use these numbers in various contexts. Let's get started!

Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

Let's begin by learning the numbers from 1 to 10 in Western Frisian. Take a look at the table below:

Western Frisian	Pronunciation	English Translation
ien	[iːn]	one
twa	[twaː]	two
trije	[trijə]	three
fjouwer	[fjou̯wər]	four
fiif	[fiːf]	five
seis	[sɛis]	six
sân	[sɔn]	seven
acht	[ɑxt]	eight
njoggen	[ɲɔɣən]	nine
tsien	[tsiːən]	ten

To practice the pronunciation, repeat each number after listening to the audio recordings provided. Try to mimic the sounds as closely as possible to develop a natural accent.

Now, let's move on to the numbers 11 to 20.

Numbers 11-20[edit | edit source]

In Western Frisian, the numbers 11 to 20 have a unique pattern. Instead of using separate words for each number, we combine the word for "ten" (tsien) with the numbers 1 to 9. Let's take a look at the table below:

Western Frisian	Pronunciation	English Translation
alve	[ɑlvə]	eleven
tolve	[tɔlvə]	twelve
trettjin	[trɛtjən]	thirteen
fjirtjin	[fjɪrtjən]	fourteen
fyftjin	[fɪftjən]	fifteen
sechstjin	[sɛxtjən]	sixteen
sântjin	[sɔntjən]	seventeen
achttjin	[ɑxtjən]	eighteen
njoggentjin	[ɲɔɣəntjən]	nineteen
tweintich	[tʋɛintəx]	twenty

Notice that the numbers 11 to 19 are formed by adding the numbers 1 to 9 after "ten" (tsien). The number 20, however, is expressed as "tweintich."

Now, let's practice the pronunciation of these numbers to ensure accuracy and fluency.

Cultural Insight[edit | edit source]

In Western Frisian culture, numbers play a significant role in various aspects of life. One interesting cultural fact is the use of numbers in traditional Frisian games. Many traditional games involve counting, such as "Kaatsebâl" (a ball game) and "Krystkuorren" (Christmas tree throwing). These games not only provide entertainment but also help develop numerical skills and strategic thinking.

Additionally, numbers are used to reference important dates and events in Western Frisian history. For example, the Battle of Warns, a significant event in Frisian history, took place on the 26th of September in 1345. Being able to understand and express numbers accurately is crucial for understanding historical facts and dates in Western Frisian culture.

Exercises[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to practice what you've learned. Try to complete the following exercises to reinforce your understanding of the numbers 1 to 20 in Western Frisian.

Exercise 1: Fill in the Missing Numbers Fill in the missing numbers in the following sequence:
