The words you need
Ten words for zero to nine, and nine for the tens from on (10) to doksan (90). Every number up to 99 is built from these.
0 to 10
The tens, and a hundred
How every other number works
Turkish puts the parts in order, largest first, with no “and” in between.
Tens first, then ones
Put the two words together.
Hundreds
A hundred is just yüz, never “bir yüz”. For more, say how many hundreds first.
Thousands
The same goes for bin: a thousand has no “bir” in front.
Millions and billions
These do take bir. A billion is milyar.
First, second, third
Add -inci, -ıncı, -uncu or -üncü, whichever matches the word’s last vowel.
Numbers in everyday life
Prices
Turks write a comma where English uses a decimal point, and say lira and kuruş separately.

Read in groups: the first four digits, then three, then two pairs.
