The pronouns are often used in a number of different ways.Iana أﻧﺎ you (masc. singular)nta ﺖ َ ﻧ you (fem. singular)nti ﺖ ِ ﻧ hehuwa ُه َﻮ shehiya ﻲ َ ِه weнna ﺣﻨﺎ you (plural)ntuma ﻧﺘُﻤﺎ theyhuma هُﻤﺎ Arabic Basic Lessons, Peace Corps/Morocco5

Wesometimes use the “full” or normal form of the number, and sometimes we use a “short” form of thenumber.

Peace Corps / Morocco Page 25Lesson 21Numbers 20, 30, 40 . 99For a multiple of ten (20, 30, 40 etc.) in Arabic, we simply use the name for that number, like in English.For numbers such as 21, 22, or 23, however, it is not like English. In Arabic, the “ones” digit ispronounced first, followed by the word “and,” then followed by the “tens” digit. For example, in Arabicthe number 21 is literally “one and twenty” while the number 47 is literally “seven and forty.” Also,remember that for the numbers 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, and 92, we do not use juj. Rather, we usetnayn.
