Over the past few days, I have several times come across a funny post on a social network about numbers in Russian. This gave me the idea to write today’s blog.<\/p>\n

0-10<\/h2>\n

As Russian teachers say, there are exceptions to every rule. If you are not familiar with Russian numerals yet, be sure to read this blog<\/a>.
\nUntil ten, we just need to memorize the names of the numbers. Let’s see how to write them in Russian:<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 \u043d\u0443\u043b\u044c or \u043d\u043e\u043b\u044c
\n1 \u2013 \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d
\n2 \u2013 \u0434\u0432\u0430
\n3 \u2013 \u0442\u0440\u0438
\n4 \u2013 \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435
\n5 \u2013 \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c
\n6 \u2013 \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c
\n7 \u2013 \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c
\n8 \u2013 \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c
\n9 \u2013 \u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442\u044c
\n10 \u2013 \u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442\u044c.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

11-20<\/h2>\n

After ten and before twenty, we take a number from the list above and add the ending “\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/strong>.” Thus, it turns out like this:<\/p>\n

11 – \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, logically, it should be:<\/p>\n

12 – \u0434\u0432\u0430 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0434\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/del>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For a reason unknown to me, in Russian, the numerals \u041e\u0414\u0418\u041d and \u0414\u0412\u0410 have genders. Moreover, the masculine and neuter genders are written the same.<\/p>\n

\u043e\u0434\u0418\u043d (masculine) \u043c\u0443\u0436\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430
\n\u043e\u0434\u043d\u0410 (feminine) \u0436\u0435\u043d\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430
\n\u043e\u0434\u043d\u041e (neuter) \u044f\u0431\u043b\u043e\u043a\u043e<\/p>\n

\u0434\u0432\u0410 (masculine) \u043c\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0447\u0438\u043a\u0430
\n\u0434\u0432\u0410 (neuter) \u044f\u0431\u043b\u043e\u043a\u0430,
\nbut \u0434\u0432\u0415 (feminine) \u0434\u0435\u0432\u043e\u0447\u043a\u0438.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here I even want to apologize to everyone who teaches “\u0432\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u0438 \u043c\u043e\u0433\u0443\u0447\u0438\u0439 \u0440\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u044f\u0437\u044b\u043a” (“the great and mighty Russian language” \u2014 based on a Russian novelist Turgenev<\/a>). In this case, we are using the feminine gender.<\/p>\n

\u0434\u0432\u0435 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0434\u0432\u0435\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Further, we move according to the same scheme.<\/p>\n

\u0442\u0440\u0438 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0442\u0440\u0438\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c.<\/p>\n

\"Numbers\"

Then \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/del>? Alas, but also not.
\nStarting at fourteen, we remove the last letter in the number. “Why?” – you ask. However, this is also a mystery to me.
\nSo, we get:<\/p>\n

\u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n\u043f\u044f\u0442 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u043f\u044f\u0442\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n\u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n\u0441\u0435\u043c + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0441\u0435\u043c\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n\u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442 + \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

20 – 90<\/h2>\n

Then, starting from twenty, you should use the following scheme:<\/p>\n

the name of the number itself + “\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s add ten every time:<\/p>\n

20 – \u0434\u0432\u0430 + \u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0434\u0432\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n30 – \u0442\u0440\u0438 + \u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c
\n40 – \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435 + \u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c = \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c.<\/del><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here is the next long-awaited exception. But the correct name would be “\u0441\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043a.” However, this name has nothing to do with “\u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435.” Fortunately, Wikipedia knows<\/a> the history of the name. It’s funny, but the word is related to a fur coat.
\nA bundle of forty skins, such as sables, was a unit of measure of trade. To sew a fur coat, on average, just as many skins were needed.
\nAnd again, starting at fifty, the scheme changes. Now you need to add “\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442” instead of “\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c:”<\/p>\n

50 – \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c + \u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442 = \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442
\n60 – \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c + \u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442 = \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442
\n70 – \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c + \u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442 = \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c\u0434\u0435\u044f\u0442
\n80 -\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c + \u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442 = \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c\u0434\u0435\u044f\u0442
\nHowever, 90 – “\u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e” and not “\u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet, let’s get back to the twenty. In this case, everything is standard. Same as in English:<\/p>\n

21 – twenty + one = twenty one – \u0434\u0432\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c + \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d = \u0434\u0432\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c \u043e\u0434\u0438\u043d
\n32 – thirty + two = thirty two – \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0434\u044c + \u0434\u0432\u0430 = \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0434\u0432\u0430
\nand so on.<\/p>\n

\"3.14\"

100-900<\/h2>\n

Now we add a hundred. I would say that in this interval, the numbers end in “\u0441\u043e\u0442,” because:<\/p>\n

500 – \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c + \u0441\u043e\u0442 = \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0441\u043e\u0442
\n600 – \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c + \u0441\u043e\u0442 = \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c\u0441\u043e\u0442
\n700 – \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c + \u0441\u043e\u0442 = \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c\u0441\u043e\u0442
\n800 – \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c + \u0441\u043e\u0442 = \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c\u0441\u043e\u0442
\n900 – \u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442\u044c + \u0441\u043e\u0442 = \u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0441\u043e\u0442.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the same time:<\/p>\n

200 – \u0434\u0432\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0418
\n300 – \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0410
\n400 – \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0410.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1,000<\/h2>\n

“A thousand” or “one thousand.” This number in Russian is used in the feminine gender. Starting from two hundred thousand, we go to the plural. Thus it results in:<\/p>\n

2,000 – \u0434\u0432\u0435 \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447\u0418
\n3,000 – \u0442\u0440\u0438 \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447\u0418
\n4,000 – \u0447\u0435\u0442\u044b\u0440\u0435 \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447\u0418.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, that would be too easy. So we change the ending again. Now we just remove the vowel at the end:<\/p>\n

5,000 – \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447
\n6,000 – \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447
\n7,000 – \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447
\n8,000 – \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447
\n9,000 – \u0434\u0435\u0432\u044f\u0442\u044c \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Analogously, continue in this vein to a million using the above schemas.<\/p>\n

1,000,000<\/h2>\n

Of course, counting millions can be enjoyable. In Russian, this million, trillion, and beyond are masculine:<\/p>\n

2,517,382 – \u0414\u0432\u0430 \u043c\u0438\u043b\u043b\u0438\u043e\u043d\u0430 \u043f\u044f\u0442\u044c\u0441\u043e\u0442 \u0441\u0435\u043c\u043d\u0430\u0434\u0446\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0442\u044b\u0441\u044f\u0447 \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0430 \u0432\u043e\u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0442 \u0434\u0432\u0430.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By the way, you can find more examples in this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to the names of the numbers themselves, there are ordinal<\/a> and collective numerals<\/a> and their cases.
