Count in Serbian

Reading numbers

Knowing седам (7) and десет (10) isn't the same as reading седамдесет три (73). Serbian strings the parts together in the order you write the digits, with no "and" in between, so once you know the parts you can read almost any number.

Practise reading

A number appears. Pick how you'd say it, or use keys 1-4. Start small and work up to bigger numbers.

How they build up

Ones

The single digits, 1 to 9.

  • 1 један jedan

  • 5 пет pet
  • 6 шест šest
  • 7 седам sedam

Tens

десет is ten; the higher tens end in -десет.

  • 30 тридесет trideset
  • 40 четрдесет četrdeset
  • 50 педесет pedeset

  • 70 седамдесет sedamdeset

Hundreds

сто is a hundred; двеста and триста break the pattern.

Putting it together

The same parts combined into bigger numbers. The word for thousand shifts between хиљаду, хиљаде, and хиљада depending on the number in front of it.
