Hello everyone!

I am MJ Mahdizadeh and we have a new lesson on Farsi.

Today I am talking to you about numbers in Farsi.

First of all, we have these names for numbers in Farsi:

Numbers from 0 to 10 in Farsi

• 0 (صفر-sefr)
• 1 (یک-yek)
• 2 (دو-do)
• 3 (سه-se)
• 4 (چهار- Ch'har)
• 5 (پنج- panj)
• 6 (شش/شیش- shesh/shish)
• 7 (هفت- haft)
• 8 (هشت- hasht)
• 9 (نه-noh)
• 10 (ده- dah)

Numbers above 10 in Farsi

When we want to use more numbers this happens:

• 20- بیست- bist

• 30- سی- si

• 40- چهل- chehel

• 50- پنجاه- panjah

• 60- شصت- shast

• 70- هفتاد- haftad

• 80- هشتاد- hashtad

• 90- نود- navad

• 100- صد- sad

• 1000- هزار- hezar

For numbers after 1000 it is like that:

• 2000= 2*1000 (دو هزار- do hezar)

• 3000=3*1000 (سه هزار- se hezar)

and...

all the other ones follow the same rule. It is also the same for million and billion and...

Look how we say this number:

• 5923: پنج هزار و نهصد و بیست و سه (panj hezar o noh sad o bist o se/ o means and)

I hope you have enjoyed this lesson.

Good luck.
