Azerbaijani numbering rules

  • Digits from zero to ten are specific words, namely sıfır [0], bir [1], iki [2], üç [3], dörd [4], beş [5], altı [6], yeddi [7], səkkiz [8], and doqquz [9].
  • The tens have specific names from ten to fifty, names based on the digits roots from sixty to ninety: on [10], iyirmi [20], otuz [30], qırx [40], əlli [50], altmış [60], yetmiş [70], səksən [80], and doxsan [90].
  • Numbers up to ninety-nine are built by spelling out the ten, then the digit (e.g.: otuz iki [32], yetmiş bir [71]). Please note that üç [3] loses its umlaut when composed within a number (e.g.: on uç [13]).
  • One hundred is written yüz, one thousand min. Hundreds and thousands are built by telling the multiplier digit, then the hundred or thousand word (e.g.: beş yüz [500], beş min [5,000]).
  • Tens of thousands use the same structure, with the exception that the ten and the unit are not separated by a space (eg. on altı [16], but onaltı min [16,000]).
  • Azerbaijani language uses the short scale for big numbers, where every new word greater than a million is 1,000 times bigger than the previous term. Thus, bir milyar is 109 (equivalent to the US billion), and bir trilyon is 1012 (equivalent to the US trillion).
