How Does It Work?

Counting from 20 onward in Hebrew is quite straightforward:

1๏ธโƒฃ Start with the base number for the tens (e.g., Esrim for 20).
2๏ธโƒฃ Add “Ve-” (meaning “and”) before the single-digit number.

For example:

  • 21 โ†’ Esrim Ve’Echad (ืขืฉืจื™ื ื•ืื—ื“)
  • 25 โ†’ Esrim Ve’Chamesh (ืขืฉืจื™ื ื•ื—ืžืฉ)

๐Ÿ” Important Tips

  • The word “Ve-“ (meaning “and”) is key when adding the single-digit numbers.
  • For feminine numbers, you’ll still use the feminine forms:
    • 22 โ†’ Esrim U’Shtayim (ืขืฉืจื™ื ื•ืฉืชื™ื™ื)
    • 24 โ†’ Esrim Ve’Arba (ืขืฉืจื™ื ื•ืืจื‘ืข)

This pattern continues with the following base numbers:

  • 30 = Shloshim (ืฉืœื•ืฉื™ื)
  • 40 = Arba’im (ืืจื‘ืขื™ื)
  • 50 = Chamishim (ื—ืžื™ืฉื™ื)

For example:

  • 34 โ†’ Shloshim Ve’Arba (ืฉืœื•ืฉื™ื ื•ืืจื‘ืข)
  • 47 โ†’ Arba’im Ve’Sheva (ืืจื‘ืขื™ื ื•ืฉื‘ืข)

By remembering the base numbers and adding “Ve-“, you’ll be counting in Hebrew like a pro in no time! ๐Ÿš€

Hebrew Numbers and Their Corresponding Letters

In Hebrew, numbers are not only written with digits but also with letters. This system, known as Gematria (ื’ื™ืžื˜ืจื™ื”), assigns numerical values to Hebrew letters. It’s a fascinating aspect of Hebrew language and Jewish tradition.
