Odia numbering rules

Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).

  • Digits from zero to nine have specific words: ଶୁନ୍ୟ (୦, śunẏa) [0], ଏକ (୧, eka) [1], ଦୁଇ (୨, dui) [2], ତିନି (୩, tini) [3], ଚାରି (୪, cāri) [4], ପାଞ୍ଚ (୫, pāṅca) [5], ଛଅ (୬, chaa) [6], ସାତ (୭, sāta) [7], ଆଠ (୮, āṭha) [8], and ନଅ (୯, naa) [9].
  • Tens have specific names too, but starting with the root of the multiplier digit, except for ten and twenty: ନଅ (୧୦, daśa) [10], କୋଡିଏ (୨୦, koḍue) [20], ତିରିଶି (୩୦, tiriśi) [30], ଚାଳିଶି (୪୦, cāḷiśi) [40], ପଚାଶ (୫୦, pacāśa) [50], ଷାଠିଏ (୬୦, ṣāṭhie) [60], ସତୂରୀ (୭୦, satūrī) [70], ଅଶୀ (୮୦, aśī) [80], and ନବେ (୯୦, nabe) [90].

    • ଦଶଲକ୍ଷ (daśa lakṣa): 10,00,000 (one million, or 106);
