Learn Arabic Counting 1 to 100 The Easy Way

Arabic Counting from 0 to 10

Below are the Arabic numbers from zero to ten in Arabic and English:

If you are learning the Arabic language for some time, you must have observed by now that all Arabic words are either Masculine in gender or Feminine. The same theory applies to the numbers. The Arabic numbers from 1-10 above are Feminine in gender. Except for number 1 and number 2, other numbers till 10 are used against a Masculine Noun.

Let’s understand this concept with examples.

Let’s take one more example. Let’s suppose you want to say 7 pens, for that, you need two words in Arabic; 7 and pens. The word for Pens is أقلام in Arabic, while the word for 7 is سَبْعَةُ. So, 7 pens will be سَبْعَةُ أقلام.

Another set of 1 to 10 Arabic counting is the below one. You will observe that the Arabic counting here is Masculine but, except for numbers 1 and number 2, other numbers up to 10 are used against a Feminine Noun. :

Let’s understand this concept with examples.

For instance, if you want to say ‘5 watches’, you need two words in Arabic; 5 and watches. The word for books is ساعات in Arabic, while the word for 5 is خَمْسٌ. So, 5 books will be  خَمْس ساعات.

Let’s take one more example. Let’s suppose you want to say 7 cars, for that, you need two words in Arabic; 7 and سيارات. The word for cars is سيارات in Arabic, while the word for 7 is سَبْعَ. So, 7 cars will be سَبْعَ سيارات .
