Tens and Hundreds

Level 2Sounds Like daha / biśa / ēśa

দহ is ten, বিশ is twenty and এশ is a hundred: দহ টকা “ten rupees”.

How It Works

These are the numbers that learners need after the first ten.

Examples: মোৰ বিশ টকা আছে “I have twenty rupees” and আমাৰ বাৰটা গৰু আছে “we have twelve cows”.

Twenty is usually spelled বিশ and sometimes বিছ. Both are right.

Round numbers such as এশ work like the smaller ones. Money, years and minutes usually take the number directly: এশ টকা “a hundred rupees”, দহ বছৰ “ten years”. Things you count one at a time add a counting word, as in বাৰটা.
