🔢 Tens (20–90)
The tens in French with pronunciation. Note the special patterns for 70, 80, and 90!
| # | Number | French | Pronunciation (English) | تلفظ (Urdu) | معنی (Urdu) | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | vingt | van | وین | بیس | |

📌 Special Patterns:
• 70 = soixante-dix (60 + 10)
• 80 = quatre-vingts (4 × 20)
• 90 = quatre-vingt-dix (4 × 20 + 10)
• In Belgium and Switzerland, 70 = septante, 90 = nonante
🔢 Compound Numbers (21–99)
Numbers 21-99 are formed by combining the tens with the units. Note the use of "et" (and) for 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, and 71.
| # | Number | French | Pronunciation (English) | تلفظ (Urdu) | معنی (Urdu) | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | 41 | quarante et un | ka-ront ay un | کارونٹ اے اون | اکتالیس | |
| 4 | 51 | cinquante et un | san-kont ay un | سینکونٹ اے اون | اکیاون | |

| 9 | 72 | soixante-douze | swa-sont-dooz | سواسونٹ ڈوز | بہتر (60+12) | |
| 10 | 81 | quatre-vingt-un | ka-truh-van-un | کاترہ وین اون | اکیاسی | |
| 11 | 91 | quatre-vingt-onze | ka-truh-van-onz | کاترہ وین اونز | اکیانوے |
📌 Rule: Use et (and) for numbers ending in 1 (21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71). No "et" for other numbers.
🔢 Hundreds & Thousands (100–1000)
Numbers from 100 to 1000 with pronunciation.
| # | Number | French | Pronunciation (English) | تلفظ (Urdu) | معنی (Urdu) | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | cent | son | سون | ایک سو | |
| 2 | 200 | deux cents | duh son | دو سون | دو سو | |
| 3 | 300 | trois cents | trwah son | تروا سون | تین سو | |
| 4 | 400 | quatre cents | ka-truh son | کاترہ سون | چار سو | |
| 5 | 500 | cinq cents | sank son | سینک سون | پانچ سو | |
| 6 | 600 | six cents | sees son | سیس سون | چھ سو | |
| 7 | 700 | sept cents | set son | سیٹ سون | سات سو | |

| 9 | 900 | neuf cents | nuf son | نف سون | نو سو | |
| 10 | 1000 | mille | meel | میل | ایک ہزار |
📌 Rule: "Cent" takes an "s" when multiplied (200 = deux cents). But when followed by another number, no "s" (201 = deux cent un).
🔑 Examples: 101 = cent un, 250 = deux cent cinquante, 999 = neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf
📋 Ordinal Numbers (1st–100th)
Ordinal numbers show position or order (first, second, third...). They are used for dates, floors, rankings, and more.
| # | Number | Ordinal | Pronunciation (English) | تلفظ (Urdu) | معنی (Urdu) | Audio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | premier (m) / première (f) | pruh-mee-ay / pruh-mee-air | پریمیئے / پریمیئیر | پہلا / پہلی | |
| 2 | 2 | deuxième | duh-zee-em | دو-زی-ایم | دوسرا | |
| 3 | 3 | troisième | trwah-zee-em | تروا-زی-ایم | تیسرا | |

| 9 | 30 | trentième | tron-tee-em | ٹرون-ٹی-ایم | تیسواں | |
| 10 | 100 | centième | son-tee-em | سون-ٹی-ایم | سوواں |
📌 Ordinal Rules:
• Most ordinals are formed by adding -ième to the number (deux → deuxième).
• 1st is irregular: premier (masculine) / première (feminine).
• For numbers ending in 1 after 20: vingt et unième (21st), not "vingt et un-ième".
📖 Important Rules
80 = 4 × 20 (quatre-vingts)
90 = 4 × 20 + 10 (quatre-vingt-dix)
