Learning Russian Numbers Made Easy
Learning the Russian language requires a good understanding of the numbers. If you're planning to visit Russia or just want to expand your language skills, mastering Russian numbers is a must.
Let's start with the basics, numbers 1-10. Repeat after me:
один ("a-deen")
два ("dva")
три ("tree")
четыре ("chye-tir-ye")
пять ("pyat")
шесть ("shest")
семь ("syem")
восемь ("vo-syem")
девять ("dyev-yat")
десять ("dyes-yat")
Good job! Now, let's move on to numbers 11-19:
одиннадцать
двенадцать
тринадцать
четырнадцать
пятнадцать
шестнадцать
семнадцать
восемнадцать
девятнадцать
And finally, the compound numbers:
двадцать ("dva-dtsat")
тридцать ("tree-dtsat")
сорок ("so-ruk")
пятьдесят ("pyat-des-yat")
шестьдесят ("shest-des-yat")
семьдесят ("syem-des-yat")
восемьдесят ("vo-syem-des-yat")
девяносто ("dyev-ya-nos-to")
сто ("sto")
двести ("dva-sti")
триста ("tree-sta")
четыреста ("chye-tyr-es-ta")
пятьсот ("pyat-sot")
шестьсот ("shest-sot")
семьсот ("syem-sot")
восемьсот ("vo-syem-sot")
девятьсот ("dyev-yat-sot")
тысяча ("tysyacha")
миллион ("meel-yon")
миллиард ("meel-lee-ard")
Practice counting from 1 to 10, then backwards from 10 to 1. Challenge yourself by counting in increments of 10, and eventually practice forming bigger numbers. With enough practice, you'll soon be able to understand Russian numbers with ease!
