Standard Arabic → Vocabulary → 0 to A1 Course → Numbers and counting in Arabic → Cardinal numbers 1-100

In the previous lesson, we learned about the usage of definite and indefinite articles in Arabic, as well as the rules of gender and how to recognize masculine and feminine nouns. Building on that foundation, in this lesson, we will explore the cardinal numbers in Arabic from 1 to 100. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and learning them will enable you to express quantities, count objects, tell time, and much more. So let's dive into the world of Arabic numbers!

Cardinal numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

Let's start with the basics. In Arabic, the numbers 1 to 10 have their own unique names. Here they are:

1 - واحد (wāhid)
2 - اثنان (ithnān)
3 - ثلاثة (thalātha)
4 - أربعة (arbaʿa)
5 - خمسة (khamsa)
6 - ستة (sitta)
7 - سبعة (sabʿa)
8 - ثمانية (thamāniya)
9 - تسعة (tisʿa)
10 - عشرة (ʿashra)

Notice that the numbers 3 to 10 have a masculine form, but the number 2 has a dual form, and the number 1 has a feminine form. This gender distinction will become more apparent as we progress to higher numbers.

Cardinal numbers 11-19[edit | edit source]

Next, let's look at the numbers from 11 to 19. In Arabic, these numbers are formed by combining the word for 10 (عشرة) with the numbers 1 to 9. Here's how they are expressed:

11 - أحد عشر (aḥad ʿashar)
12 - اثنا عشر (ithnā ʿashar)
13 - ثلاثة عشر (thalātha ʿashar)
14 - أربعة عشر (arbaʿa ʿashar)
15 - خمسة عشر (khamsa ʿashar)
16 - ستة عشر (sitta ʿashar)
17 - سبعة عشر (sabʿa ʿashar)
18 - ثمانية عشر (thamāniya ʿashar)
19 - تسعة عشر (tisʿa ʿashar)

Notice that the word for 10 (عشرة) is placed after the number from 1 to 9. This pattern will continue as we move on to higher numbers.

Cardinal numbers 20-99[edit | edit source]

To form the numbers from 20 to 99 in Arabic, we use a combination of the words for tens (عشرات) and the numbers 1 to 9. Let's take a look:

20 - عشرون (ʿishrūn)
21 - واحد وعشرون (wāḥid wa-ʿishrūn)
22 - اثنان وعشرون (ithnān wa-ʿishrūn)
23 - ثلاثة وعشرون (thalātha wa-ʿishrūn)
24 - أربعة وعشرون (arbaʿa wa-ʿishrūn)
25 - خمسة وعشرون (khamsa wa-ʿishrūn)
26 - ستة وعشرون (sitta wa-ʿishrūn)
27 - سبعة وعشرون (sabʿa wa-ʿishrūn)
28 - ثمانية وعشرون (thamāniya wa-ʿishrūn)
29 - تسعة وعشرون (tisʿa wa-ʿishrūn)
30 - ثلاثون (thalāthūn)
40 - أربعون (arbaʿūn)
50 - خمسون (khamsūn)
60 - ستون (sittūn)
70 - سبعون (sabʿūn)
80 - ثمانون (thamānūn)
90 - تسعون (tisʿūn)

As you can see, the numbers from 20 to 99 are formed by combining the word for tens (عشرات) with the numbers 1 to 9, using the conjunction "و" (wa) to connect them. For example, 21 is expressed as "واحد وعشرون" (wāḥid wa-ʿishrūn), which translates to "one and twenty".

Cardinal numbers 100-1000[edit | edit source]

Moving on to the hundreds, the number 100 in Arabic is مئة (miʾa). To form the numbers from 200 to 900, we use the hundreds digit followed by the word for hundred (مئة). Here's a breakdown:

100 - مئة (miʾa)
200 - مئتان (miʾtān)
300 - ثلاثمئة (thalāthummiʾa)
400 - أربعمئة (arbaʿummiʾa)
500 - خمسمئة (khamsummiʾa)
600 - ستمئة (sittummiʾa)
700 - سبعمئة (sabʿummiʾa)
800 - ثمانمئة (thamānummiʾa)
900 - تسعمئة (tisʿummiʾa)

To form the numbers from 101 to 199, we use the word for hundred (مئة) followed by the numbers 1 to 99. For example, 101 is expressed as "مئة وواحد" (miʾa wa-wāḥid), which translates to "one hundred and one".

For numbers from 1000 and above, we use a similar pattern. The thousands digit is followed by the word for thousand (ألف), and then the hundreds, tens, and ones digits are added as before. Here are a few examples:

1000 - ألف (alf)
2000 - ألفان (alfān)
3000 - ثلاثة آلاف (thalātha ālāf)
4000 - أربعة آلاف (arbaʿa ālāf)
5000 - خمسة آلاف (khamsa ālāf)
10,000 - عشرة آلاف (ʿashra ālāf)
100,000 - مئة ألف (miʾa alf)
1,000,000 - مليون (milyūn)

As you can see, the numbers 1000 and above follow a similar pattern to the hundreds, with the addition of the word for thousand (ألف) and the millions (مليون).

Summary[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we have covered the cardinal numbers in Arabic from 1 to 100. We started with the numbers 1 to 10, then progressed to the numbers 11 to 19, and finally explored the numbers from 20 to 100. We also learned how to express numbers in the hundreds and thousands. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and mastering them will enable you to communicate effectively in Arabic. So keep practicing, and before you know it, you'll be counting and expressing quantities with ease!

In the next lesson, we will learn about ordinal numbers and how to form and use them in Arabic.

-As a Standard Arabic language teacher, I have found numbers to be one of the most interesting and important elements of learning the language. In this lesson, we will be focusing on the cardinal numbers 1-100 in Arabic, which are essential for everyday life and conversation in Arabic-speaking cultures.
+== Cardinal numbers 1-10 ==
+Let's start with the basics. In Arabic, the numbers 1 to 10 have their own unique names. Here they are:
+* 1 - واحد (wāhid)
+* 2 - اثنان (ithnān)
+* 3 - ثلاثة (thalātha)
+* 4 - أربعة (arbaʿa)
+* 5 - خمسة (khamsa)
+* 6 - ستة (sitta)
+* 7 - سبعة (sabʿa)
+* 8 - ثمانية (thamāniya)
+* 9 - تسعة (tisʿa)
+* 10 - عشرة (ʿashra)
+Notice that the numbers 3 to 10 have a masculine form, but the number 2 has a dual form, and the number 1 has a feminine form. This gender distinction will become more apparent as we progress to higher numbers.
+== Cardinal numbers 11-19 ==
+Next, let's look at the numbers from 11 to 19. In Arabic, these numbers are formed by combining the word for 10 (عشرة) with the numbers 1 to 9. Here's how they are expressed:

-==Cardinal numbers 11-100==
+To form the numbers from 20 to 99 in Arabic, we use a combination of the words for tens (عشرات) and the numbers 1 to 9. Let's take a look:
-To form the numbers 11-19 in Arabic, you simply add the number from 1-9 to the word "عشرة" (ʿashara), which means "ten". So, for example, 11 in Arabic is "أحد عشر" (aHad ʿashar), which means "one ten". Here are the numbers 11-19 in Arabic:
+* 20 - عشرون (ʿishrūn)
+* 21 - واحد وعشرون (wāḥid wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 22 - اثنان وعشرون (ithnān wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 23 - ثلاثة وعشرون (thalātha wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 24 - أربعة وعشرون (arbaʿa wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 25 - خمسة وعشرون (khamsa wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 26 - ستة وعشرون (sitta wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 27 - سبعة وعشرون (sabʿa wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 28 - ثمانية وعشرون (thamāniya wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 29 - تسعة وعشرون (tisʿa wa-ʿishrūn)
+* 30 - ثلاثون (thalāthūn)
+* 40 - أربعون (arbaʿūn)
+* 50 - خمسون (khamsūn)
+* 60 - ستون (sittūn)
+* 70 - سبعون (sabʿūn)
+* 80 - ثمانون (thamānūn)
+* 90 - تسعون (tisʿūn)
-* أحد عشر (aHad ʿashar) – eleven
+As you can see, the numbers from 20 to 99 are formed by combining the word for tens (عشرات) with the numbers 1 to 9, using the conjunction "و" (wa) to connect them. For example, 21 is expressed as "واحد وعشرون" (wāḥid wa-ʿishrūn), which translates to "one and twenty".
-* اثنا عشر (ithnaa ʿashar) – twelve
-* ثلاثة عشر (thalaatha ʿashar) – thirteen
-* أربعة عشر (arbaʿa ʿashar) – fourteen
-* خمسة عشر (khamsa ʿashar) – fifteen
-* ستة عشر (sitta ʿashar) – sixteen
-* سبعة عشر (sabʿa ʿashar) – seventeen
-* ثمانية عشر (thamaaniya ʿashar) – eighteen
-* تسعة عشر (tisʿa ʿashar) – nineteen
-To form the numbers 20-100 in Arabic, you need to follow a similar pattern to English. For example, the number 23 in Arabic is "ثلاثة و عشرون" (thalaatha wa ʿishruun), which means "three and twenty". Here are the numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 in Arabic:
+== Cardinal numbers 100-1000 ==
-* عشرون (ʿishruun) – twenty
+Moving on to the hundreds, the number 100 in Arabic is مئة (miʾa). To form the numbers from 200 to 900, we use the hundreds digit followed by the word for hundred (مئة). Here's a breakdown:
-* ثلاثون (thalathiin) – thirty
-* أربعون (arbaʿiin) – forty
-* خمسون (khamsiin) – fifty
-* ستون (sittiin) – sixty
-* سبعون (sabʿiin) – seventy
-* ثمانون (thamaaniin) – eighty
-* تسعون (tisʿiin) – ninety
-* مائة (mi'ah) – one hundred
-==Important cultural information about using numbers in Arabic==
+* 100 - مئة (miʾa)
+* 200 - مئتان (miʾtān)
+* 300 - ثلاثمئة (thalāthummiʾa)
+* 400 - أربعمئة (arbaʿummiʾa)
+* 500 - خمسمئة (khamsummiʾa)
+* 600 - ستمئة (sittummiʾa)
+* 700 - سبعمئة (sabʿummiʾa)
+* 800 - ثمانمئة (thamānummiʾa)
+* 900 - تسعمئة (tisʿummiʾa)
-In addition to the standard use of numbers, there are some important cultural aspects to be aware of when using numbers in Arabic. For example, the number 7 is considered lucky in Arabic culture, and is sometimes used in people's names or on items for sale. The number 13, on the other hand, is considered unlucky in Arabic culture.
+To form the numbers from 101 to 199, we use the word for hundred (مئة) followed by the numbers 1 to 99. For example, 101 is expressed as "مئة وواحد" (miʾa wa-wāḥid), which translates to "one hundred and one".
-Another important cultural aspect of using numbers in Arabic is the difference between the decimal separator and the thousands separator. Unlike in English, where a comma is used as the thousands separator and a period is used as the decimal separator, Arabic uses the opposite convention. A comma is used as the decimal separator in Arabic, and a period is used as the thousands separator. For example, the Arabic equivalent of 1,000.50 would be written as "1.000,50".
+For numbers from 1000 and above, we use a similar pattern. The thousands digit is followed by the word for thousand (ألف), and then the hundreds, tens, and ones digits are added as before. Here are a few examples:
-==Practice exercises==
+* 1000 - ألف (alf)
+* 2000 - ألفان (alfān)
+* 3000 - ثلاثة آلاف (thalātha ālāf)
+* 4000 - أربعة آلاف (arbaʿa ālāf)
+* 5000 - خمسة آلاف (khamsa ālāf)
+* 10,000 - عشرة آلاف (ʿashra ālāf)
+* 100,000 - مئة ألف (miʾa alf)
+* 1,000,000 - مليون (milyūn)
-To help you practice the numbers we have covered in this lesson, here are some exercises you can try:
+As you can see, the numbers 1000 and above follow a similar pattern to the hundreds, with the addition of the word for thousand (ألف) and the millions (مليون).
