Both languages have unique ways of expressing numbers, and there are distinct patterns that emerge when converting from one language to the other. In this article, we'll provide a detailed guide on how to perform these conversions, complete with examples to illustrate the process.

Basics of Number Representation

In Polish, numbers are represented in a straightforward way, similar to other Indo-European languages. Here are some basic examples:

• 1 - jeden

• 3 - ba
• 4 - bốn
• 5 - năm
• 6 - sáu
• 7 - bảy
• 8 - tám

• 10 - mười

Conversion Examples

Single-Digit Numbers:

1. Polish: jeden → Vietnamese: một
2. Polish: dwa → Vietnamese: hai
3. Polish: trzy → Vietnamese: ba
4. Polish: cztery → Vietnamese: bốn

Double-Digit Numbers:

• 11 in Polish is jedenaście, and in Vietnamese, it is mười một.
• 12 in Polish is dwanaście, and in Vietnamese, it is mười hai.
• 20 in Polish is dwadzieścia, which translates to hai mươi in Vietnamese.

Tens:

Polish constructs numbers in the tens as follows:

• 30 (trzydzieści) → ba mươi
• 40 (czterdzieści) → bốn mươi
• 50 (pięćdziesiąt) → năm mươi

Larger Numbers:

For hundreds and thousands, Polish uses prefixed forms, whereas Vietnamese structures them with specific terms.

• 100 (sto) in Polish is một trăm in Vietnamese.
• 200 (dwiescie) in Polish translates to hai trăm in Vietnamese.
• 1000 (tysiąc) is một nghìn in Vietnamese, whereas 2000 (dwie tysiące) is hai nghìn.

Patterns to Note

When converting from Polish to Vietnamese, it is essential to follow specific patterns:

1. Single digits generally have unique terms in both languages.
2. For numbers beyond ten, combining terms in Vietnamese typically involves using "mười" for ten, "hai mươi" for twenty, and similar structures for 30, 40, etc.
3. Larger numbers follow a systematic approach where “trăm” refers to hundreds and “nghìn” refers to thousands.
