Numbers 1 to 100 in words are one, two, three … up to one hundred; in Hindi एक, दो, तीन … सौ; in Punjabi ਇੱਕ, ਦੋ, ਤਿੰਨ … ਸੌ. Hindi says the unit before the ten — 25 is पच्चीस, literally five-and-twenty — while English says the ten first, twenty-five.

Hindi: units come first
In English you say the ten first — twenty-five. In Hindi the unit comes first: पच्चीस is “five-and-twenty”. Learn these four endings and most of the hundred falls into place:
- …ईस for the twenties — इक्कीस, बाईस, तेईस
- …तीस for the thirties — इकतीस, बत्तीस, तैंतीस
- …तालीस for the forties — इकतालीस, बयालीस
- …सठ, …हत्तर, …सी, …नवे for 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s
The “one less” numbers
Every number ending in 9 is built from the next ten, not its own. That is why they look odd at first:
- 29 उनतीस ਉਨੱਤੀ — “one less than 30”
- 39 उनतालीस ਉਨਤਾਲੀ · 49 उनचास ਉਨੰਜਾ
- 59 उनसठ ਉਨਾਹਠ · 69 उनहत्तर ਉਣੱਤਰ
- 79 उनासी ਉਨਾਸੀ · 89 नवासी ਉਣਾਨਵੇਂ · 99 निन्यानवे ਨਿੜਾਨਵੇਂ
Where Punjabi differs
Punjabi counting is close to Hindi but not the same, and the tens are quite different:
- 20 ਵੀਹ (not बीस) · 30 ਤੀਹ · 40 ਚਾਲੀ · 50 ਪੰਜਾਹ · 60 ਸੱਠ
- The 50s end in …ਵੰਜਾ and the 60s in …ਹਠ — ਬਵੰਜਾ (52), ਬਾਹਠ (62)
- Many Punjabi names drop the final consonant Hindi keeps: 22 ਬਾਈ for बाईस, 32 ਬੱਤੀ for बत्तीस
- 5 is ਪੰਜ — the same word that gives Punjab its name, “the land of five rivers”
Numbers 1–100 in Three Languages — your questions
How do you write 1 to 100 in words in English?
One to twenty each have their own name. From twenty-one onwards you join the ten and the unit with a hyphen — twenty-one, thirty-five, forty-nine, ninety-nine — up to one hundred. The tens are twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty and ninety. Note the spellings forty (no u) and ninety (keeps the e).
Why is Hindi ginti harder to learn than English counting?
Because Hindi says the unit before the ten and the ending changes with each decade. पच्चीस is literally five-and-twenty. Learn the four endings and most of the hundred falls into place: ...ईस for the twenties, ...तीस for the thirties, ...तालीस for the forties, then ...सठ, ...हत्तर, ...सी and ...नवे for the sixties to nineties.
Why do Hindi numbers ending in 9 look so different?
Because every number ending in 9 is built from the next ten, not its own. उनतीस means one less than thirty, so it is 29, not 39. The same pattern gives उनतालीस for 39, उनचास for 49, उनसठ for 59, उनहत्तर for 69, उनासी for 79, नवासी for 89 and निन्यानवे for 99.
How is Punjabi counting different from Hindi?
The tens differ most: 20 is ਵੀਹ, 30 ਤੀਹ, 40 ਚਾਲੀ, 50 ਪੰਜਾਹ and 60 ਸੱਠ. The fifties end in ...ਵੰਜਾ and the sixties in ...ਹਠ, giving ਬਵੰਜਾ for 52 and ਬਾਹਠ for 62. Many Punjabi names also drop a final consonant Hindi keeps — ਬਾਈ for बाईस, ਬੱਤੀ for बत्तीस.
What are the Hindi and Punjabi digits?
Only the shapes change, never the value. English uses 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; Hindi uses the Devanagari digits ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९; Punjabi uses the Gurmukhi digits ੦ ੧ ੨ ੩ ੪ ੫ ੬ ੭ ੮ ੯. So 25 is written २५ in Devanagari and ੨੫ in Gurmukhi.
Can I print a numbers chart for the classroom wall?
Yes. There are three printable A4 sheets: a 1 to 100 grid with all three languages, a 1 to 100 grid in one language of your choice, and a large-print 1 to 20 sheet for younger children. Nothing but the chart goes on the paper. Teachers often print the one-language grid and ask the class to fill in the missing names.
