Turkish Numbers: 1 to 100 and Beyond

Turkish numbers are regular. Learn the words for 0 to 10, the tens, and yüz, bin and milyon, and you can say any number by reading it left to right.

Zero to ten

The tens

Building a number

Say the tens, then the units: 47 is kırk yedi. Nothing joins the words and nothing changes in them. One hundred is yüz and one thousand is bin, with no bir in front, so 1985 is bin dokuz yüz seksen beş. From a million up, bir is said: bir milyon.

Numbers 1 to 100

Hundreds, thousands and millions

  • A noun after a number stays singular: iki kitap, never iki kitaplar.
  • üç kitapthree books
  • Beş kardeşim var.I have five siblings.
  • Kaç tane? Yedi.How many? Seven.
