Russian Numbers

Disclaimer: numbers in Russian sometimes change depending upon their use in the sentence (subject, object, object of a preposition, etc.) Some of the numbers also change form depending on the kind of noun they are describing (masculine, feminine, or neuter). I am deliberately omitting this very lengthy and detailed grammatical explanation. This means that, if you use the numbers as shown here, you will sometimes be grammatically incorrect, but you will be understood.

The second column in the table below shows the numbers 11-19. Notice that they bear a very definite resemblance to the numbers one through 10. In fact, they are formed by taking the one-digit numbers, adding the preposition , and then a shortened form of the word for ten.

Multiples of Ten

To construct numbers like 52, 78, or 146, just put the parts together:

52 =
78 =
146 =
