Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

In Burmese, numbers are relatively straightforward and follow a consistent pattern. Let's begin by learning the numbers from 1 to 10:

Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Here are the numbers from 1 to 10 in Burmese:

Burmese	Pronunciation	English
တစ်	tay	one
နှစ်	hnay	two
သုံး	thone	three
လေး	lay	four
ငါး	nga	five
ခွေ	hkae	six
ခုနစ်	hkunay	seven
ရှစ်	chay	eight
ကိုး	koi	nine
တစ်ဆယ်	tay hsa	ten

Usage[edit | edit source]

Now that we know the numbers from 1 to 10, let's see how we can use them in sentences. Here are a few examples:

တစ်သုံး လေး ကိုး (tay thone lay koi) - Four plus nine
နှစ်တစ်လေး ခွေ (hnay tay lay hkae) - Two minus six
သုံးတစ်လေး ခုနစ် (thone tay lay hkunay) - Three times seven
ငါး ရှစ် ကိုး (nga chay koi) - Five divided by eight

As you can see, Burmese uses the same sentence structure as English when it comes to mathematical operations. The numbers are simply inserted into the sentence to perform the desired calculation.

Cultural Insight[edit | edit source]

In Burmese culture, numbers hold significant cultural and religious symbolism. For example, the number nine (ကိုး) is considered lucky and is often associated with prosperity and good fortune. It is not uncommon for businesses or individuals to incorporate the number nine into their phone numbers, addresses, or even prices.

Similarly, the number eight (ရှစ်) is also considered auspicious and is associated with wealth and success. It is believed that the number eight brings good luck and can attract financial abundance. As a result, you may find that some buildings or houses skip the number four (လေး) and go directly from three (သုံး) to five (ငါး) in their numbering system, as four sounds similar to the word for "death" in Burmese.

Practice[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to put your knowledge to the test! Try completing the following exercises using the numbers 1 to 10:

1. Perform the following calculations in Burmese: a) Three plus seven b) Two times six c) Five minus four d) Eight divided by two

2. Write the following numbers in Burmese: a) 9 b) 6 c) 10 d) 1

3. Create your own sentences using the numbers 1 to 10. Be creative and try to use different mathematical operations in your sentences.

Solutions[edit | edit source]

1. Solutions to the calculations: a) သုံးခုနစ် (thone hkunay) - three plus seven b) နှစ်ခွေ (hnay hkae) - two times six c) ငါးလေး (nga lay) - five minus four d) ရှစ်ကိုး (chay koi) - eight divided by two

2. Solutions to writing numbers: a) ကိုး (koi) - 9 b) ခွေ (hkae) - 6 c) တစ်ဆယ် (tay hsa) - 10 d) တစ် (tay) - 1

3. Sample sentences: a) သုံးကိုး ပေးပို့ခြင်းမှာ လူများအတွက် ရှိပါသည်။ (thone koi pyayhkyin ma htarlu ma'aye) - Three is a lucky number for many people. b) ငါးကိုး လူများနှင့် ကိုယ်ပိုင်ဖွယ်နိုင်သည်။ (nga koi lu ma hnain koihpyautnint) - Five attracts wealth and success. c) တစ်ဆယ်နှစ်ခွေ လူများအတွက် အခြားနှစ်များကို ရှိပါသည်။ (tay hsa hnay hkae lu ma'aye ahkyinma' koih) - Ten is one of the many numbers that exist.

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to count from 1 to 10 in Burmese and use numbers in basic sentences. Keep practicing and exploring the fascinating world of the Burmese language!

-== Burmese Number System ==
-Burmese has its own unique numeric system, which can differ from other Southeast Asian languages like Thai, Lao or Khmer. As Burmese numbers are based on a system of ones, tens, hundreds and thousands, it is quite easy to learn for English speakers.
-The Burmese numerals are derived from the ancient Brahmi script, which was used throughout South Asia. Burmese numbers are written in a similar format to Arabic, with numerals arranged horizontally from left to right.
-Here's a brief overview of the Burmese number system:
-* ၀ - Zero (zero)
-* ၁ - Ek (one)
-* ၂ - Doh (two)
-* ၃ - Tain (three)
-* ၄ - Lay (four)
-* ၅ - Nga (five)
-* ၆ - Chauk (six)
-* ၇ - Khu (seven)
-* ၈ - Htwa (eight)
-* ၉ - Koe (nine)
-* ၁၀ - Tae (ten)
-Note that the Burmese language uses the decimal system, where numbers are counted in groups of 10, rather than groups of 100, as in English.
-== Counting from 1 to 10 ==
-Let's take a closer look at the numbers from 1 to 10 in Burmese, and how they are pronounced.
