In this lesson, we will learn how to count from 1 to 100 in Northern Uzbek and use numbers in everyday situations.

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
