Let’s go step by step to understand what this table is showing.
This table helps you learn how to say and write numbers from 1 to 22 in Arabic — both the way they’re written (numerals) and how they sound when spoken (romanized).
Each row has:
- The number in English (like “1”, “2”, etc.)
- The numeral used in Arabic script (these look different from our 1, 2, 3…)
- The word for that number in Arabic script (written right to left)
- How to pronounce it using English letters (romanized)
For example:
→ Number 1:
Numeral = ١
Arabic word = وَاحِد
Romanized = wahid → sounds like “wah-hid”
→ Number 5:
Numeral = ٥
Arabic word = خَمْسَة
Romanized = hhamsa → sounds like “hham-sa” (with a soft ‘h’ at start)
→ Number 10:
Numeral = ١٠
Arabic word = عَشْرَة
Romanized = ashar → sounds like “ash-ar”
→ Number 15:
Numeral = ١٥
Arabic word = خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ
Romanized = hhamsa ashar → means “five ten” → fifteen
→ Number 20:
Numeral = ٢٠
Arabic word = عِشْرُونَ
Romanized = ishrun → sounds like “ish-roon”
→ Number 22:
Numeral = ٢٢
Arabic word = اِثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ
Romanized = ithnan wa ishrun → means “two and twenty”
You can see a pattern:
- Numbers 1–10 have their own unique words.
- Numbers 11–19 are made by saying the unit + “ashar” (meaning “ten”).
- Number 20 is its own word: “ishrun”
- Numbers 21+ are built as “unit + wa + ishrun” → e.g., 21 = “wahid wa ishrun” (one and twenty)
This system continues up to 100, but here we only see up to 22.
Final Answer:
The table shows how to read, write, and pronounce numbers 1 to 22 in Arabic, including their numerals, Arabic script words, and romanized pronunciations. For example, 1 is “wahid”, 10 is “ashar”, 20 is “ishrun”, and 22 is “ithnan wa ishrun”.
