Converting Hebrew Numbers to Portuguese Numbers

Numbers are a fundamental part of language, used in everyday life for counting, measuring, and communicating information. Both Hebrew and Portuguese have their unique ways of expressing numbers. Understanding how to convert numbers from Hebrew to Portuguese can be tremendously helpful for learners of both languages.

The Basics of Hebrew Numbers

Hebrew numbers are typically expressed in two systems: the standard numerical system and the gematria system, where letters represent numbers. For this article, we will focus on the standard numerical system.

In Hebrew:

• 1 is "אחד" (echad)
• 2 is "שתיים" (shtaim)
• 3 is "שלוש" (shalosh)
• 4 is "ארבע" (arba)
• 5 is "חמש" (chamesh)
• 10 is "עשר" (aser)
• 20 is "עשרים" (esrim)
• 100 is "מאה" (me'ah)

Converting to Portuguese Numbers

Now, let’s look at how these Hebrew numbers translate into Portuguese:

• 1 (אחד) = um
• 2 (שתיים) = dois
• 3 (שלוש) = três
• 4 (ארבע) = quatro
• 5 (חמש) = cinco
• 10 (עשר) = dez
• 20 (עשרים) = vinte
• 100 (מאה) = cem

1 to 10: A Detailed Breakdown

Here’s a breakdown of numbers from 1 to 10 in both Hebrew and Portuguese:

Hebrew	Portuguese
אחד (1)	um
שתיים (2)	dois
שלוש (3)	três
ארבע (4)	quatro
חמש (5)	cinco
שש (6)	seis
שבע (7)	sete
שמונה (8)	oito
תשע (9)	nove
עשר (10)	dez

Tens and Hundreds

As we move into the higher numbers, the pattern continues with tens and hundreds.

For instance, Hebrew numbers from 20 to 100 are:

• 30 (שלושים) = trinta
• 40 (ארבעים) = quarenta
• 50 (חמישים) = cinquenta
• 60 (שישים) = sessenta
• 70 (שבעים) = setenta
• 80 (שמונים) = oitenta
• 90 (תשעים) = noventa
• 100 (מאה) = cem

Example Conversions

Let's put this into practice with some examples.

1. The Hebrew number "תשע עשרה" (19) would translate to "dezenove" in Portuguese.
2. The Hebrew number "שלושים" (30) directly converts to "trinta".
3. The Hebrew number "חמישה עשר" (15) translates to "quinze".

Advanced Numbers

When dealing with larger numbers, such as thousands or millions, the conversion process requires understanding both languages' numerical constructs. For instance:

• 1,000 in Hebrew is "אלף" (elef) which translates to "mil" in Portuguese.
• 10,000 in Hebrew is "עשרת אלפים" (aseret alafim) which translates to "dez mil" in Portuguese.
