How do you count in Nepali?

Nepali uses Devanagari numerals (१, २, ३...) and has unique words for each number. The counting system is similar to Hindi but with distinct Nepali pronunciations. For example: 1 is एक (ek), 2 is दुई (dui), 3 is तीन (tin), and so on up to 100 which is सय (saya).

What are Devanagari numerals?

Devanagari numerals are the number symbols used in the Devanagari script: ० (0), १ (1), २ (2), ३ (3), ४ (4), ५ (5), ६ (6), ७ (7), ८ (8), ९ (9). These are used in Nepali, Hindi, Marathi, and other languages that use the Devanagari script.

Is Nepali counting different from Hindi counting?

Nepali and Hindi counting share many similarities since both use the Devanagari script and are Indo-Aryan languages. However, there are pronunciation differences. For example, 2 in Nepali is दुई (dui) while in Hindi it is दो (do). The Devanagari numerals (१, २, ३...) are the same in both languages.

How to Count in Nepali

Nepali uses the Devanagari numeral system which has its own set of digits: ०, १, २, ३, ४, ५, ६, ७, ८, ९. These correspond to 0-9 in the Arabic numeral system. Nepali numbers also have unique words that must be memorized, especially the numbers from 1 to 100 which have irregular patterns.

Unlike English where numbers follow a pattern after 20 (twenty-one, twenty-two...), Nepali numbers have unique words for each number. For example, 21 is एक्काइस (not बीस-एक), 22 is बाइस, 23 is तेइस, and so on. This makes learning Nepali counting a matter of memorization.

Tips for Learning Nepali Numbers

Start by memorizing 1-10, then move to 11-20, and so on in groups of ten.
Practice writing the Devanagari numerals alongside the words.
Note the patterns: numbers ending in 9 often start with "उनन्" or "उना" (meaning "one less than").
Use these numbers in daily practice — counting objects, reading prices, etc.
