Conversion of Azerbaijani Numbers to Turkish Numbers

Numbers play a crucial role in everyday communication, whether it's for counting, telling time, or specifying quantities. Both Azerbaijani and Turkish languages belong to the Turkic language family and share significant linguistic similarities, including their numerical systems. However, despite these similarities, there are some differences in pronunciation and usage that can lead to confusion for learners of either language. This article will explore how to convert Azerbaijani numbers into Turkish numbers, providing detailed examples to aid understanding.

Basic Numbers

To start with, here are the basic numbers from 0 to 10 in both languages:

Azerbaijani	Turkish
0	0 (sıfır)
1	1 (bir)
2	2 (iki)
3	3 (üç)
4	4 (dörtd)
5	5 (beş)
6	6 (altı)
7	7 (yeddi)
8	8 (səkkiz)
9	9 (doqquz)
10	10 (on)

Tens and Beyond

Next, we will look at how numbers are built in the tens, as well as hundreds, thousands, and beyond.

For numbers 11 to 20:

Azerbaijani	Turkish
11	11 (on bir)
12	12 (on iki)
13	13 (on üç)
14	14 (on dörd)
15	15 (on beş)
16	16 (on altı)
17	17 (on yeddi)
18	18 (on səkkiz)
19	19 (on doqquz)
20	20 (iyirmi)

For example, the number 15 in Azerbaijani uses "on beş", which directly translates to "on five". The number consistency can be observed as both languages follow a similar construct.

Hundreds and Thousands

The conversion continues similarly into larger numbers.

Azerbaijani terms for hundreds and thousands:

Azerbaijani	Turkish
100	100 (yüz)
200	200 (iki yüz)
300	300 (üç yüz)
1000	1000 (min)
2000	2000 (iki min)

Again, you will notice the construction remains consistent. For instance, "iki yüz" in Azerbaijani translates to "iki yüz" in Turkish, both meaning "two hundred".

Combining Numbers

Combining numbers also follows a similar pattern, where you append the smaller number to the larger. For instance:

• 45 in Azerbaijani is "qırx beş" (qırx meaning forty and beş meaning five) and in Turkish, it is "kırk beş".
• 123 in Azerbaijani is "bir yüz iyirmi üç" and in Turkish, it is "bir yüz yirmi üç".

Example Sentences

To further illustrate the usage of numbers in both languages:

1. Azerbaijani: "Mənim üç kitabım var." (I have three books.) Turkish: "Benim üç kitabım var."

2. Azerbaijani: "Bu beş alma çox dadlıdır." (This five apples are very delicious.) Turkish: "Bu beş elma çok lezzetli."

In both examples, the numeric words stay the same, demonstrating the similarities in structure.
