Take some time to familiarize yourself with the pronunciation of each number. Pay attention to the different sounds and stress patterns. Practice saying the numbers aloud to improve your pronunciation skills.
As you can see, the numbers exhibit unique phonetic characteristics. Pay attention to the pronunciation, as it will help you communicate more effectively.


== Numbers 11-20 ==
=== Counting from 11 to 20 ===


Now that you are comfortable with the numbers 0 to 10, let's move on to the numbers from 11 to 20 in Abkhazian. These numbers have a unique structure, as they are formed by combining the word for "ten" (аҟьаҵа) with the numbers 1 to 9. Take a look at the table below:
Next, let's expand our counting skills up to '''20'''. Below is another table that outlines these numbers.


{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьашьа || akʲaʕa akʲaʃʲa || twelve
 
| 12 || аԥшьм || twelve
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьаза || akʲaʕa akʲaza || thirteen
 
| 13 || аҩыҭ || thirteen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьама || akʲaʕa akʲama || fourteen
 
| 14 || аԥшы || fourteen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьана || akʲaʕa akʲana || fifteen
 
| 15 || аԥшьп || fifteen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьаҩа || akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || sixteen
 
| 16 || аԥшч || sixteen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьаҧа || akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || seventeen
 
| 17 || аԥштә || seventeen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьаҭа || akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || eighteen
 
| 18 || аԥши || eighteen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьаҵа || akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || nineteen
 
| 19 || аԥша || nineteen
 
|-
|-
| аҟьаҵа аҟьаҵа аҟьаба || akʲaʕa akʲaʕa akʲaba || twenty
 
| 20 || аԥшм || twenty
 
|}
|}


Notice how the word for "ten" (аҟьаҵа) is repeated before each number from 11 to 19. The number 20 (аҟьаҵа аҟьаба) is formed by adding the word for "twenty" (аҟьаҵа) after the number 10 (аҟьаҵа).
You can see that numbers from 11 to 19 are formed by combining the base numbers with the suffix.  


Practice saying these numbers aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation and stress patterns. It may feel challenging at first, but with practice, you will become more comfortable with the structure of these numbers.
=== Counting from 21 to 100 ===


== Numbers 30-100 ==
Now let's look at how to count from '''21 to 100'''. The pattern becomes clearer as we progress, which is excellent for those of you who like structure in learning!


Now that we have covered the numbers from 0 to 20, let's move on to the numbers from 30 to 100 in Abkhazian. These numbers follow a similar pattern to the numbers 11 to 20, as they are formed by combining the word for "ten" (аҟьаҵа) with the numbers 3 to 10. Take a look at the table below:
{| class="wikitable"

|-

|-
|-
| аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьама || akʲaʃʲa akʲaʕa akʲama || sixty
 
| 60 || аԥшьш || sixty
 
|-
|-
| аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьана || akʲaʃʲa akʲaʕa akʲana || seventy
 
| 70 || аԥшьҭ || seventy
 
|-
|-
| аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьаҩа || akʲaʃʲa akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || eighty
 
| 80 || аԥши || eighty
 
|-
|-
| аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьаҧа || akʲaʃʲa akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || ninety

| аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьаҵа || akʲaʃʲa akʲaʕa akʲaʕa || one hundred
 
| 100 || аԥшьк || one hundred
 
|}
|}


As you can see, the word for "ten" (аҟьаҵа) is repeated before each number from 30 to 90. The number 100 (аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьаҵа) is formed by adding the word for "one hundred" (аҟьашьа аҟьаҵа аҟьаҵа) after the number 10 (аҟьаҵа).
Notice how the numbers from '''21 to 29''' are formed by combining the tens (20) with the respective unit. This pattern continues for the tens, making it easier to remember.


Take some time to practice saying these numbers aloud, focusing on the pronunciation and stress patterns. It may take some time to become comfortable with the structure of these numbers, but with practice, you will improve.
== Practical Examples ==


== Cultural Significance of Numbers in Abkhazian ==
To help illustrate the use of numbers in everyday situations, here are some practical scenarios where numbers come into play:


In Abkhazian culture, numbers hold significant cultural and historical value. Here are a few interesting facts about numbers in Abkhazian:
1. '''Shopping''':  


1. Numerology: Like many other cultures, Abkhazians believe in the mystical properties and meanings associated with numbers. Each number is believed to have a specific symbolism and influence on various aspects of life. For example, the number 7 is considered lucky and is often associated with prosperity and success.
* "How much is this?" - "Ашҭашә аԥшм?" (How much is this?).


2. Traditional Games: Numbers play an essential role in traditional Abkhazian games. Many traditional games involve counting, such as "Аџақәа" (Adzakha), a game similar to hopscotch, where players hop from one numbered square to another. These games help children develop their counting skills while having fun.
* If something costs '''35''': "Ашҭашә аԥшм аԥшты а 5" (This costs thirty-five).


3. Historical Significance: Numbers also have historical significance in Abkhazian culture. For example, during the Abkhazian War in the early 1990s, the number 1864 became a symbol of resistance and resilience. The year 1864 marks the end of the Caucasian War, when Abkhazia was incorporated into the Russian Empire. By using the number 1864, Abkhazians express their desire for independence and their determination to preserve their cultural identity.
2. '''Telling Time''':


4. Superstitions: Like in many cultures, certain numbers are considered lucky or unlucky in Abkhazian society. For example, the number 13 is often associated with bad luck and is avoided in many aspects of life. Similarly, the numbers 3 and 777 are considered lucky and are often used in rituals and celebrations.
* "What time is it?" - "Илгәи?" (What time is it?).


Understanding the cultural significance of numbers in Abkhazian will not only enhance your language skills but also deepen your understanding of the local culture and traditions.
* If it's '''3:00''': "Илгәи 3." (It is three o'clock).
