Marathi Numerals

FoundationsSounds Like marāṭhī aṅka

The digits count the same way as the numbers you know, and you read them left to right.

How It Works

The digits of Devanagari are the ones you see in Marathi print.

Numbers have places like English: १५ is fifteen, ४० is forty, and २०२६ is a year. Use them for prices (३० रुपये), dates (१५ जून), years, bus numbers and counts in lists.

The word रुपये is plural after a number above one: ४० रुपये. For one, say एक रुपया. In dialogue, small counts are words: दोन कप चहा.

Read a long number from the left: १२५ is one hundred twenty-five. Clock times written as figures use the digits too: ९ वाजता.

Common Mistakes

  • Using Latin digits in Marathi text.

    चहा 40 रुपये आहे.
    चहा ४० रुपये आहे.

    Marathi text prints the Devanagari digits.

  • Using the singular word for money after a number.

    चहा ४० रुपया आहे.
    चहा ४० रुपये आहे.

    After a number above one the word is the plural रुपये.
