Czech to Hebrew Number Conversion

Converting numbers from Czech to Hebrew involves understanding the distinct numeral systems and how they are expressed in each language. Czech employs Arabic numerals (0-9) just like in English, while Hebrew uses a unique system based on letters that represent numbers, especially for numbers above ten. Below is a detailed exploration of how to convert Czech numbers into Hebrew, including examples for clarity.

Basic Number Conversion

At the most basic level, numbers from 0 to 10 have direct translations. Here’s a table for quick reference:

Czech	Hebrew	Transliteration
0	אפס	Efes
1	אחד	Achat
2	שניים	Shnayim
3	שלושה	Shlosha
4	ארבעה	Arba'a
5	חמישה	Chamisha
6	שישה	Shisha
7	שבעה	Sheva
8	שמונה	Shmona
9	תשעה	Tisha
10	עשרה	Asara

Numbers 11 to 19

For the numbers between 11 and 19, Hebrew uses a combination of the base ten numeral and the units. The word for ten (עשרה/asara) is added to the single digits:

Czech	Hebrew	Transliteration
11	אחת עשרה	Achat Asara
12	שתיים עשרה	Shta'im Asara
13	שלוש עשרה	Shlosh Asara
14	ארבע עשרה	Arba Asara
15	חמישה עשר	Chamisha Asar
16	שישה עשר	Shisha Asar
17	שבעה עשר	Sheva Asar
18	שמונה עשרה	Shmona Asara
19	תשעה עשרה	Tisha Asara

Tens and Beyond

For multiples of ten, Hebrew has specific words:

• 20: עשרים (Esrim)
• 30: שלושים (Shloshim)
• 40: ארבעים (Arba'im)
• 50: חמישים (Chamishim)
• 60: שישים (Shishim)
• 70: שבעים (Shiv'im)
• 80: שמונים (Shmonim)
• 90: תשעים (Tish'im)
• 100: מאה (Me'ah)

To form numbers like twenty-one (21) in Hebrew, you would combine these, using the word for twenty (עשרים) plus the unit (אחד):

Czech	Hebrew	Transliteration
21	עשרים ואחד	Esrim Ve'achat
22	עשרים ושניים	Esrim Ushnayim
23	עשרים ושלושה	Esrim Ushlosha
...	...	...
100	מאה	Me'ah

Hundreds and Thousands

For hundreds, multiply the base:

• 200: מאתיים (Matayim)
• 300: שלוש מאות (Shalosh Me'ot)
• 400: ארבע מאות (Arba Me'ot)

For thousands:

• 1,000: אלף (Elef)
• 2,000: אלפים (Alafim)
