Lesson 3.1 (page 1 of 1)

Arabic Numbers [0-10]

The numbering system in Arabic is different. It is derived from Indian numerals. The system is as follows:

Trans
Numbers
Sound
Sefr
0
waHed
1
ethnayn
2
thalaatha
3
arba’ah
4
khamsah
5

 

Some countries, such as Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, use our "Arabic" numerals, for example 1965 instead of .
Trans
Numbers
Sound
settah
6
sab’ah
7
thamanya
8
tis’ah
9
‘ashrah
10
While Arabic letters are written from right-to-left, numbers in Arabic are written from left-to-right. For example: is the number "127" not "721."
