UNIT 03 · LESSON 7
Counting to ten
Numbers you will use every day.
By the end of this lessonCount from one to ten in Kurmanji.
The idea
The numbers one to ten are: yek, du, sê, çar, pênc, şeş, heft, heşt, neh, deh. A number comes before the noun, and the noun stays in its singular form: sê pirtûk (three books), not sê pirtûkan.
See it in a sentence
yek, du, sêone, two, three
çar pirtûkfour books
pênc mirovfive people
deh salîten years old
You will meet these numbers everywhere: ages, prices, phone numbers, and time.
