In Urdu, counting from 11- 20 is also quite straightforward, so let's jump right in. I’ll give you the numbers in English first, then Urdu. |

As you may have noticed, each number from 11 to 18 ends with -ah which is like -teen in English numbers from 13 to 19. Basically, in Urdu you have the second figure pronounced first and then the first figure pronounced second. In English, the same thing happens with numbers from 13 to 19, but in Urdu this happens with all the numbers up to 99. Now that we know how it works, let's see the numbers from 21 to 30. |
Now, let’s go to the bigger numbers starting from “twenty.” In Urdu, “twenty-one” is.. |
