Quick Learning Tip: Combine Numbers with “ـوـ” (“o”)

To say numbers like 21, 22, or 29 in Persian, you simply combine the tens and the units with the word “و” (o) which means “and”.

For example:

  • 21 → بیست و یک → bist o yek
  • 22 → بیست و دو → bist o do
  • 29 → بیست و نه → bist o noh

This pattern works for all numbers from 21 to 99!

Note: This rule applies to compound numbers only. Round numbers like 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 do not use “و” — they stand alone.

How to Combine Persian Numbers from 21 to 99 Using “و” (and)

92نود و دوnavad o do
96نود و ششnavad o shesh
99نود و نهnavad o noh

📌 Pattern: You simply combine the tens and the units using “و” (o).
✅ This works for all numbers 21 to 99.
❌ Except for round tens like 30, 40, 50…, which stand alone without “و”.

Saying 100 in Persian

The number 100 in Persian is written as:

  • صد
  • Pronunciation: sad

It is a unique word and does not follow the “tens + ones” pattern used from 21 to 99.

Final Thoughts on Learning Persian Numbers

Learning Persian numbers from 1 to 100 becomes much easier once you understand the basic structure and patterns. By recognizing how units and tens are combined using the connector “و” (o), you can confidently form numbers like 21 (bist o yek) or 57 (panjāh o haft). Don’t forget that some numbers like 30 to 90 have fixed forms that don’t combine with “o”.
