Alright, Let us learn how to count numbers. Learning numbers is not only fun it is important. Look at the certain numbers
like three and nine which is threeni and nava respectively. They sound very similar, aren't they? It makes it easy to
remeber!
1. One एकम ् (ekam)
9. Nine नव (nava)
After the number Ten, you see that the numbers till Nineteen the suffix dasha, in a way similar to the siffix -teen in
English!
11. Elelven एकादश (ekaadasha)
Alright. We have now reached Thirty, which is trimshat. The same rule again follows to go further! One to nine as prefix

learning numbers. Still, for the sake of completeness, lets us finish counting.
Now apply the same rule for numbers beyond Seventy (saptatihi), till eighty (asheetihi). Add the prefixes. Right, you

And here! Ninety is navatihi and we keep adding the prefixes till hundred.
