Urdu Numbers 1 to 100: Counting in Urdu with Roman Urdu

اردو گنتی

Updated 22 October 2026

Counting in Urdu takes some memory work: from 11 to 99 every number is its own word, and the patterns are only partly regular. The good news is that the numbers you use most, for prices, times and ages, come back again and again. Here is the complete list from 0 to 100, followed by the big numbers, ordinals and fractions, all as taught in our Beginning Urdu course.

0 to 100

Learn them in groups of ten. Look for the pattern inside each group: the 20s mostly end in -iis, the 30s in -tiis, the 40s in -taaliis and so on, and every number ending in 9 is "one less than" the next ten: untiis (29) is one less than tiis (30). Some numbers in the 70s to 90s have more than one accepted pronunciation; this list gives one common form.

Hundreds, thousands, lakh and crore

South Asia counts large numbers in lakhs and crores, not millions: a laakh is 100,000 and a karoR is 10,000,000. Prices and salaries are written that way too: 2,00,000 is do laakh.

Number	Urdu	Roman Urdu
100	سو	sau
200	دو سو	do sau
1,000	ہزار	hazaar
100,000	لاکھ	laakh
10,000,000	کروڑ	karoR
1,000,000,000	ارب	arab
