Numbers

Counting words, ordinals, and half — and how to stack the building blocks into any number you need.

The building blocks

• nol zero
• sıfır zero
• bir one
• eki two
• üç three
• tört four
• beş five
• altı six
• jeti seven

• otuz thirty
• qırq forty
• elli fifty
• altmış sixty
• jetmiş seventy
• seksen eighty
• tohsan ninety
• jüz one hundred
• miŋ thousand

First, second, half

• birinçi first
• ekinçi second
• üçünçü third
• jarım half

Putting them together

• on bir 11 — ten (and) one
• jıyırma beş 25 — twenty (and) five
• tohsan jeti 97 — ninety (and) seven
• eki jüz elli 250 — two hundred fifty
• beş jüz altmış tört 564 — five hundred sixty-four
• miŋ toğuz jüz tohsan jeti 1997 — a thousand nine hundred ninety-seven
• eki miŋ jıyırma altı 2026 — two thousand twenty-six

Say the pieces biggest-first and they simply add up — there is no "and" anywhere. A noun after a number stays singular: beş adam — five people, never *beş adamla.
