Arabic numbers from 1 to 1000

The Arabic language is listed as one of the most difficult languages โ€‹โ€‹to learn, yet understanding numbers is very simple. Arabic is the official and co-official language from twenty-six countries, and is spoken by more than 420 million of people.

The structure of writing these numbers in Arabic makes more sense than in Spanish. That is why their learning may not be so difficult for you. Something interesting that you should know is that Arabic numerals, or Indo-Arabic numerals, come from the India, hundreds of years ago.

Over time they spread throughout the rest of the Arab countries, and later throughout the world. Today the Arabic numeral system is the one used because it is more easy than the rest. This is a positional numbering system that includes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

There are Arabs who write numbers like this, and there are others who don't. They use Arabic numbers, which we will show you later. It is important that you learn the other way of writing. It is not fully used in Arab countries, but it does not hurt to be prepared.

In this article we will show you the Cardinal and ordinal numbers. With that it will be enough for you to master the language a little more. In the end we will leave you some examples useful for you to review what you have learned.

Cardinal numbers in Arabic

The cardinal numbers in Arabic, those that are used to count, you must learn from the 0 al 20 from memory.

To form more numbers, as with other languages, you are going to make a composition between the ones and tens.

Arabic numbers from 0 to 20

We are going to present these first numbers to you in the format: number - number in Arabic (digits) - pronunciation - number in Arabic (letters).

  • 0 - ู  - sifr - ุตููู’ุฑูŒ
  • 1 - ูก - wahid - ูˆุงุญุฏ
  • 2 - ูข - ithnan - ุฅุซู†ุงู†
  • 3 - ูฃ - thalatha - ุซู„ุงุซุฉ
  • 4 - ูค - arba'a - ุฃุฑุจุน
  • 5 - ูฅ - khamsa - ุฎู…ุณุฉ
  • 6 - ูฆ - sitta - ุณุชุฉ
  • 7 - ูง - sab'a - ุณุจุนุฉ
  • 8 - ูจ - thamaniya - ุซู…ุงู†ูŠุฉ
  • 9 - ูฉ - tis'a - ุชุณุนุฉ
  • 10 - ูกู  - 'ashra - ุนุดุฑุฉ
  • 11 - ูกูก - ahada 'ashar - ุงุญุฏ ุนุดุฑ
  • 12 - ูกูข - ithna 'ashar - ุงุซู†ุง ุนุดุฑ
  • 13 - ูกูฃ - thalatha 'ashar - ุซู„ุงุซุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 14 - ูกูค - arba'a 'ashar - ุงุฑุจุนุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 15 - ูกูฅ - khamsa 'ashar - ุฎู…ุณุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 16 - ูกูฆ - sitta 'ashar - ุณุชุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 17 - ูกูง - sab'a 'ashar - ุณุจุนุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 18 - ูกูจ - thamaniya 'ashar - ุซู…ุงู†ูŠุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 19 - ูกูฉ - tis'a 'ashar - ุชุณุนุฉ ุนุดุฑ
  • 20 - ูขู  - 'ishrun - ุนุดุฑูˆู†

Digit numbers in Arabic are a bit like the conventional ones: ู , ูก, ูข, ูฃ, ูค, ูฅ, ูฆ, ูง, ูจ and ูฉ.

And the writing, to represent more numbers, is the same. For example, the number 21 is written "ูขูก". So it is with the rest.

Explaining the way they are written (ุนุดุฑูˆู†) is more complicated. That is why we are only going to show you already written, without explaining how to do it.

The first twenty one numbers, 0 to 20, they have unique names. Memorize them. There are also others with their own names that you will see.

The rest are combinations between tens and ones, at least that's how it happens until 99.

Look at all the tens in Arabic:

  • 10 - ูกู  - 'ashra - ุนุดุฑุฉ
  • 20 - ูขู  - 'ishrun - ุนุดุฑูˆู†
  • 30 - ูฃู  โ€•thalathun - ุซู„ุงุซูˆู†
  • 40 - ูคู  - arba'un - ุฃุฑุจุนูˆู†
  • 50 - ูฅู  - khamsun - ุฎู…ุณูˆู†
  • 60 - ูฆู  - sittun - ุณุชูˆู†
  • 70 - ูงู  - sab'un - ุณุจุนูˆู†
  • 80 - ูจู  - thamanun - ุซู…ุงู†ูˆู†
  • 90 - ูฉู  - tis'un - ุชุณุนูˆู†

Notice that from the second ten they are the same units ending in ยซaยป, with their exceptions. This is the way you should pronounce them.

To write numbers within the tens range, after 20, you must use the connector "Wa" (ูˆ). And put the unit first and then the ten.

For example, thirty-three would look like: three thirty in Arabic.

Look at how the numbers 20 to 29 are written.

  • 21 - ูขูก - wahid wa-'ishroun - ูˆุงุญุฏ ูˆุนุดุฑูˆู†
  • 22 - ูขูข - isnan wa-'ishroun - ุฅุซู†ุงู† ูˆุนุดุฑูˆู†
  • 23 - ูขูฃ - Salasah wa-'ishroun - ุซู„ุงุซุฉ ูˆุนุดุฑูŠู†
  • 24 - ูขูค - arbah'ah wa-'ishroun - ุฃุฑุจุน ูˆุนุดุฑูŠู†
  • 25 - ูขูฅ - hamsah wa-'ishroun - ุฎู…ุณุฉ ูˆุนุดุฑูŠู†
  • 26 - ูขูฆ - sittah wa-'ishroun - ุณุชุฉ ูˆุนุดุฑูŠู†
  • 27 - ูขูง - sab'ah wa-'ishroun - ุณุจุนุฉ ูˆุนุดุฑูˆู†
  • 28 - ูขูจ - samaniyah wa-'ishroun - ุซู…ุงู†ูŠุฉ ูˆุนุดุฑูŠู†
  • 29 - ูขูฉ - tis'ah wa-'ishroun - ุชุณุนุฉ ูˆุนุดุฑูˆู†
