Forming numbers in Arabic is quite easy, from 13 to 19 you just place a number
before ten for example 13 = three ten, instead of thirteen in English, 17 is seven ten in Arabic.
53
From 21 to 99 you just need to reverse the numbers and add (wa- between the two numbers)
36 would be six wa- thirty instead of thirty six (sitta wa-thalathun), (wa means and).
0 is sifr in Arabic, from which the word cipher came. For 11 and 12 they’re irregular,
so just remember how to write them by now (11 = ihda ‘ashar, 12 = ithna ‘ashar).
Although Arabic is written and read from right-to-left, Arabic numerals are written
and read left-to-right, just like in English.
Ordinal numbers in Arabic are almost like the cardinal numbers, with some exceptions in the
numbers from 1 to 10, and a slight difference in numbers from 11 and up.
Note that ordinal numbers in Arabic are somehow like adjectives, so they have to take the masculine,
or feminine form. Please check the adjectives page for more information.
After 10 only the first number takes the feminine, for example 13 th is thaleth achar for
masculine, and thalethata achar for feminine, achar stays the same, the first half “thaleth”
which means 3rd takes “a” in the feminine, and so does the rest of the ordinal number, except
ten numbers like 20, 30, 40, 50, they look like cardinal numbers but they add “ a” as a prefix
for numbers starting with a consonant, for example: 70 = sab’un, 70 th = asab’un (for both
masculine and feminine), and they add “al” for ten numbers starting with a vowel, like: 40=
arba’un, 40th = alarba’un.
Write the following into Arabic Numerals then write in Arabic words using English text.
