| Today we're going to continue on with counting as we cover 11-100. It sounds like a lot! But we’re going to do it step-by-step. First, let's just quickly review 1 to 10. Ready? |
| “One” - ūāḥid (واحد). |
| “Two” - ǧūǧ (جوج). |
| “Three” - ṯalāṯah (تلاتة). |
| “Four” - ʾarbaʿah (ربعة). |
| “Five” - ḫamsah (خمسة). |
| “Six” - sittah (ستة). |
| “Seven” - sabʿah (سبعة). |
| “Eight” - ṯamānyah (تمانية). |
| “Nine” - tisʿah (تسعود). |
| “Ten” - ʿašrah (عشرة). |
| And last, “zero” - ṣifr (صفر). |
| Next, let’s look at numbers 11 through 20. |
| 11 - ḥadāš (حداش). |
| 12 - tināš(تناش). |
| 13 - talṭāš (تلطاش). |
| 14 - rbʿaṭāš (ربعطاش). |
| 15 - ḫmsṭāš (خمسطاش). |
| 16 - sṭāš (سطاش). |
| 17 - sbʿaṭāš (سبعطاش). |
| 18 - tmanṭāš (تمنطاش). |
| 19 - tsʿaṭāš (تسعطاش). |
| 20 - ʿšrīn (عشرين). |
| Now let's look at multiples of ten. They all end with the sound "īn". |
| 30 is talātīn (تلاتين). |
| 40 is rabʿīn (ربعين). |
| 50 is ḫamsīn (خمسين). |
| 60 is sitīn (ستين). |
| 70 is sabʿīn (سبعين). |
| 80 is tmanīn (تمنين). |
| 90 is tisʿīn (تسعين). |
| Very well! Finally, we have the number for 100, which is miyyah (مية). |
| Again, miyyah. |
| miyyah |
| For numbers such as 21, 22, or 23, it is not like English. In Arabic, the "ones" digit is pronounced first, followed by the word "and", then followed by the "ten" digit. |
| For example, in Arabic, the number 21 is literally "one and twenty" while the number 45 is literally "five and forty." |
| In Arabic, this is 21, is ūāḥid wa ʿišrīn. |
| ūāḥid is “one”, followed by wa, “and”, followed by ʿišrīn. |
| One more time together: ūāḥid wa ʿišrīn; literally, "one and twenty." |
| ūāḥid wa ʿišrīn. |
| Let’s try together, number 22. |
| 22 is tināīn wa ʿišrīn. |
| tināīn wa ʿišrīn |
| tināīn is “two,” which is different than the number ǧūǧ that I said earlier, but I’ll talk more about this later. |
| tināīn is “two,” followed by wa, “and”, followed by ʿišrīn, “twenty.” |
| Literally, "two and twenty." |
| tināīn wa ʿišrīn |
| Now it’s your turn, try to say 23. |
| 23 is ṯalāṯah wa ʿišrīn. |
| ṯalāṯah is “three,” followed by wa, “and,” followed by ʿišrīn “twenty.” |
| Literally, "three and twenty." |
| ṯalāṯah wa ʿišrīn. |
| And so on. |
| Cultural Insights |
| Now, I told you before that number 2 is ǧūǧ in Moroccan Arabic, however, for numbers 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, and 92, that is all the compounded digits with 2, we don't use ǧūǧ, instead, we use tināīn, which is also Arabic for 2. |
| And so to say 22, as we learned before, it's not ǧūǧ wa ʿišrīn, "two and twenty"; it’s tināīn wa ʿišrīn, "two and twenty." |
| The same thing goes for 32, tināīn wa talātīn. |
| 42 - tināīn wa rabʿīn |
| 52 - tināīn wa ḫamsīn |
| 62 - tināīn wa sitīn |
| 72 - tināīn wa sabʿīn |
| 82 - tināīn wa tmanīn |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so حظ سعيد, that means "good luck" in Arabic. |
| Ok, here we go! |
| 20 is ʿšrīn (عشرين). |
