ოცი/ოცდა-

Counting by Twenties

Level 1Sounds Like otsi/otsda

Georgian counts in twenties: 30 is twenty and ten, and 40 is two twenties.

How It Works

Number	Georgian	Built as
20	ოცი otsi	twenty
21	ოცდაერთი	twenty and one
30	ოცდაათი	twenty and ten
40	ორმოცი	two twenties
50	ორმოცდაათი	two twenties and ten
60	სამოცი	three twenties
70	სამოცდაათი	three twenties and ten
80	ოთხმოცი	four twenties
90	ოთხმოცდაათი	four twenties and ten
99	ოთხმოცდაცხრამეტი	four twenties and nineteen

To build any number below 100, take the twenties, add -და- (and), then a number from one to nineteen: 45 is ორმოცდახუთი, two twenties and five.

A twenty that stands alone ends in -ი: ოცი, ორმოცი. When a smaller number follows, the -ი drops and -და- comes in. The whole number is written as one word.
