Understanding the Tatar Numeral System
The Tatar numeral system is quite logical and follows a straightforward structure. Here are a few key points to help you understand it better:
1. Basic Units: The numbers from 1 to 10 are unique words.
2. Teen Numbers: The numbers from 11 to 19 are formed by combining the word ун (ten) with the basic units. For example, ун өч means "ten and three," which translates to thirteen.
3. Tens: The word for twenty is егерме, and you can form numbers like егерме бер (twenty-one) by adding the unit after егерме.
