Basic Numbers
Here are the basic numbers in Northern Uzbek:
Northern Uzbek | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
1 | bir | one |
2 | ikki | two |
3 | uch | three |
4 | to'rt | four |
5 | besh | five |
6 | olti | six |
7 | yetti | seven |
8 | sakkiz | eight |
9 | to'qqiz | nine |
10 | o'n | ten |
Note that the pronunciation of Northern Uzbek may vary slightly depending on the region of Uzbekistan where it is spoken.
To form numbers from 11 to 19, you simply add the basic number to the word for "ten". For example:
- 11: o'n bir
- 12: o'n ikki
- 13: o'n uch
- 14: o'n to'rt
- 15: o'n besh
- 16: o'n olti
- 17: o'n yetti
- 18: o'n sakkiz
- 19: o'n to'qqiz
To form numbers from 20 to 99, you first say the multiple of ten, followed by the basic number. For example:
- 20: yigirma (literally, "two tens")
- 21: yigirma bir
- 22: yigirma ikki
- 30: o'ttiz (literally, "three tens")
- 31: o'ttiz bir
- 40: qirq (literally, "four tens")
- 50: ellik (literally, "five tens")
- 60: oltmish (literally, "six tens")
- 70: yetmish (literally, "seven tens")
- 80: sakson (literally, "eight tens")
- 90: to'qson (literally, "nine tens")
To form numbers from 100 to 999, you first say the number of hundreds, followed by the multiple of ten (if any), followed by the basic number. For example:
- 100: yuz
- 101: yuz bir
- 125: yuz yigirma besh
- 200: ikki yuz
- 300: uch yuz
- 400: to'rt yuz
- 500: besh yuz
- 600: olti yuz
- 700: yetti yuz
- 800: sakkiz yuz
- 900: to'qqiz yuz
Note that when multiples of 100 are used with basic numbers, they are connected using the word "va". For example:
- 105: yuz besh va besh
- 824: sakkiz yuz yigirma to'rt
Counting in Everyday Situations
Now that we know the basic numbers in Northern Uzbek, let's practice using them in everyday situations:
