\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0631\u0642\u0627\u0645 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u062d\u062f\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u062a\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0629 \u0639\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631 (\u0661\u0661\u2013\u0661\u0669)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Numbers <\/span>\u0661\u0661 <\/b>to <\/span>\u0661\u0669 <\/b>share a common element, that being <\/span>\u0639\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631<\/b>. The pattern for numbers <\/span>\u0661\u0663 <\/b>to <\/span>\u0661\u0669 <\/b>is exactly the same, for example: <\/span>\u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b\u0629 \u0639\u0634\u0631<\/b> being the feminine form and <\/span>\u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b \u0639\u0634\u0631<\/b> being the masculine. Just like numbers \u0661 and \u0662, there is a slightly different pattern for numbers <\/span>\u0661\u0661 <\/b>and <\/span>\u0661\u0662<\/b>. Instead of saying <\/span>\u0648\u0627\u062d\u062f \u0639\u0634\u0631<\/b> and <\/span>\u0627\u062b\u0646\u0627\u0646 \u0639\u0634\u0631<\/b>, we say <\/span>\u0623\u062d\u062f \u0639\u0634\u0631<\/b> (masculine) <\/span>\u0625\u062d\u062f\u0649 \u0639\u0634\u0631\u0629<\/b> (feminine) and <\/span>\u0625\u062b\u0646\u0627 \u0639\u0634\u0631 <\/b>(masculine) and <\/span>\u0627\u062b\u0646\u062a\u0627 \u0639\u0634\u0631\u0629 <\/b>(feminine).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rule for numbers <\/span>\u0661\u0661 <\/b>and <\/span>\u0661\u0662<\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Remember that these numbers consist of two parts: the first being <\/span>\u0623\u062d\u062f \/\u0625\u062b\u0646\u0627 <\/b>\u00a0and the second being <\/span>\u0639\u0634\u0631<\/b>. Both parts AGREE with the gender of the noun which comes AFTER the number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0623\u062d\u062f \u0639\u0634\u0631 \u0631\u062c\u0644\u0627\u064b \u0648\u0627\u062b\u0646\u0627 \u0639\u0634\u0631 \u0631\u062c\u0644\u0627\u064b<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0625\u062d\u062f\u0649 \u0639\u0634\u0631\u0629 \u0628\u0646\u062a\u0627\u064b \u0648\u0627\u062b\u0646\u062a\u0627 \u0639\u0634\u0631\u0629 \u0628\u0646\u062a\u0627\u064b<\/b><\/h3>\n

Rule for numbers <\/span>\u0661\u0663 <\/b>to <\/span>\u0661\u0669<\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first part of the number DISAGREES with the gender of the noun while the second part <\/span>\u0639\u0634\u0631 <\/b>AGREES with the gender of the noun which comes AFTER the number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u062b\u064e\u0644\u0627\u062b\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631\u064e \u062f\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0633\u064b\u0627<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u062e\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0633\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0634\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0629\u064e \u062a\u0641\u0627\u062d\u064e\u0629<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0631\u0642\u0627\u0645 \u0645\u0646 \u0639\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0646 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u062a\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0629 \u0648\u062a\u0650\u0633\u0639\u0648\u0646 (\u0662\u0660\u2013\u0669\u0669)<\/b><\/h2>\n

When it comes to the tens, just as English adds the suffix -ty to the root numbers to make for example forty, Arabic adds <\/span>\u0648\u0646<\/b> – to make <\/span>\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e<\/b>. These numbers have no feminine forms, Therefore, 60 boys is <\/span>\u064b\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0648\u0644\u062f\u0627<\/b> and 60 girls is <\/span>\u064b\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0628\u0646\u062a\u0627<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When making numbers such as <\/span>\u0662\u0661\u066b\u0660\u0664\u0665\u066b\u0663\u0667<\/b> remember that in Arabic, we pronounce the additional number before the tens number unlike English. For example, in English we say \u201ctwenty three\u201d whereas Arabic says \u201cthree and twenty\u201d <\/span>\u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b\u0629 \u0648\u0639\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0646<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rule for numbers <\/span>\u0662\u0660 <\/b>to <\/span>\u0669\u0669<\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Since the tens number does not have a feminine form, we look at the first part of the number which DISAGREES with the gender of the noun which comes AFTER the number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u062e\u0645\u0633\u0629 \u0648\u0639\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0646 \u0631\u062c\u0644\u0627\u064b<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u062e\u0645\u0633 \u0648\u0639\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0646 \u0628\u0646\u062a\u0627\u064b<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0661\u0660\u0660 \u0645\u0650\u0626\u064e\u0629 and \u0661\u0660\u0660\u0660 \u0623\u0644\u0641<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

One hundred in Arabic is \u0645\u0650\u0626\u064e\u0629<\/strong> and one thousand is <\/span>\u0623\u0644\u0641<\/b>. To say 200 or 2000 we use the dual making <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0626\u064e\u0629 <\/b>into <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0626\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0646 <\/b>and <\/span>\u0623\u0644\u0641 <\/b>into <\/span>\u0623\u0644\u0641\u064a\u0646<\/b>. We keep the same form for masculine and feminine nouns. <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0626\u0629 \u0631\u064e\u062c\u064f\u0644<\/b>, <\/span>\u0623\u0644\u0641 \u0628\u0650\u0646\u062a<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The order in which we say numbers such as 103 is the same as in English <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0626\u064e\u0629\u064c \u0648\u064e \u0648\u062b\u0644\u0627\u062b\u0629<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rule here is that the last word in the number will agree or disagree in gender and the noun will either be in singular or plural form depending on that last word in the number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, one hundred and five boys is <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0626\u064e\u0629\u064c \u0648\u064e \u062e\u0645\u0633\u0629 \u0627\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062f<\/b>. Here <\/span>\u062e\u0645\u0633\u0629 <\/b>is the last word in the number. Since 3-9 disagree in gender and are followed by the plural noun, the noun is in the plural form and <\/span>\u062e\u0645\u0633\u0629 <\/b>is in the feminine form since it must disagree in gender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at another example, one hundred and seventy-three boys is <\/span>\u0645\u0650\u0626\u0629\u064c \u0648\u064e \u062b\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u062b\u064e\u0629\u064c \u0648\u064e \u0633\u0628\u0639\u0648\u0646 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u062f\u0627\u064b<\/b>. Here <\/span>\u0633\u0628\u0639\u0648\u0646 <\/b>is the last word which does not change regardless of the noun\u2019s gender, but is followed by a singular noun making it <\/span>\u064b\u0648\u0644\u062f\u0627 <\/b>instead of <\/span>\u0627\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062f<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2728After reviewing all these number rules while trying to phrase them as simply and clearly as possible, I realized that no matter what, if you wish to use Arabic numbers in their grammatically correct forms, you\u2019d have to carefully study these rules, which takes some effort. As I mentioned in the previous post, it depends on how deep you want to go. You may be at a stage in your Arabic learning, where just knowing the Arabic numbers and the correct order in which to say them is enough. Or, you enjoy knowing the exact rules and how they are used in for example Quranic verses or scholarly texts. In any case, I hope these posts helped in at least giving you an idea of how Arabic numbers work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
