Hindi numbers 1 to 100 (गिनती)

How to use this chart

In Hindi every number up to 100 has its own word, so the list has to be learnt, not built. The fourth column gives a simple reading in Roman letters for those who are new to the Devanagari script: "aa" is a long a as in "father", "ee" as in "see", and "oo" as in "moon". Type a number, a Hindi word or its reading in the box to find it quickly.

Learn the list ten at a time. The numbers ending in 9 need extra care, because they are named from the next ten: 29 is उनतीस and 39 is उनतालीस. The page on how Hindi counting works explains this and the other patterns.

After one hundred

From 100 the counting becomes regular. Say the hundreds, then the rest: एक सौ पचास (150), नौ सौ निन्यानवे (999). The larger units are हज़ार (thousand), लाख (lakh) and करोड़ (crore): दो लाख पचास हज़ार is two lakh fifty thousand.

Numbers that are often mixed up

• उनतीस (29) and उनतालीस (39): the word names the ten that comes next.
• सैंतीस (37) and सैंतालीस (47).
• सड़सठ (67) and अड़सठ (68).
• उन्यासी (79) and नवासी (89).
• पच्चीस (25), पचास (50) and पचपन (55).

Spelling notes

You may see छः for छह (6), पांच for पाँच (5) and हजार for हज़ार. These are accepted spellings of the same words. The Roman-letter reading is only a help for beginners and has no fixed standard.
