  • 7 = yedi
  • 8 = sekiz
  • 9 = dokuz
  • 10 = on

     • 16 = on altı
     • 17 = on yedi
     • 18 = on sekiz
     • 19 = on dokuz

2. Tens (20, 30, etc.)

   • Croatian:
     • 20 = dvadeset
     • 30 = trideset
     • 40 = četrdeset
     • 50 = pedeset

Combining Numbers

The structure of number combinations also varies in Croatian and Turkish. Let's take a look at how to combine numbers:

• Example:

• Yes, in both languages, the formation of tens and units follows a similar structure once the basic numbers are known.
• Understanding decimal formations is also crucial, notably in larger numbers where groups of thousands, millions, etc., must be accounted for.

How can practice improve my skills in number conversion?

• Regular practice with writing and speaking numbers in both languages will enhance memory retention. Use flashcards, online quizzes, or conversational exercises to solidify understanding.
