Learning to count is a fundamental step in mastering any new language.

This guide will show you exactly how to count from 1 to 100 in Armenian.

Armenian numbers follow a highly logical pattern once you learn the base vocabulary.

I’ll cover both Eastern and Western Armenian variations below to ensure you learn the correct dialect for your needs.

Numbers 1 to 10

The first step to counting in Armenian is memorizing the numbers from one to ten.

These core numbers serve as the building blocks for all larger numbers.

Eastern and Western Armenian share similar spellings for these numbers.

However, the pronunciation differs slightly due to consonant shifts between the two dialects.

Numbers 11 to 19

Counting from eleven to nineteen in Armenian is incredibly straightforward.

You simply take the word for ten and add the single digit to the end of it.

In both dialects, the ending vowel of the number ten is dropped when combining words.

This means “tas” (from tasy) or “das” (from dasuh) is placed directly before the single digit.

Counting by tens

Once you reach the number twenty, the counting system introduces new vocabulary for each multiple of ten.

Many of these tens numbers end in the suffix “-սուն” (-sun).

You’ll need to memorize these multiples of ten individually.

Forming compound numbers

Creating any number between 21 and 99 is extremely simple in Armenian.

You just state the tens place followed immediately by the ones place.

There are no conjunctions or connecting words needed between the numbers.

Here are a few examples to show you exactly how this works.

The number 100

The word for one hundred introduces a brand new root word.

It’s spelled հարյուր in Eastern Armenian and հարիւր in Western Armenian.

Eastern speakers pronounce this as “haryur”.

Western speakers pronounce this as “harur” or “haryur”.

To say numbers beyond one hundred, you simply add the next number right after it.
