Pronunciation Guide

Pronunciation can sometimes feel daunting when learning a new language, but don't worry! Here are a few tips to help you pronounce these numbers correctly:

• 1 - ১ (ɪk): It may sound like "ick". Just remember, it's short and crisp!

• 2 - ২ (doh): Similar to the English word "do", but with a soft 'h' at the end.

• 3 - ৩ (tin): Pronounced just like "tin", but with a nasal tone at the end.

• 4 - ৪ (chaar): Pronounced like "cha" with a rolling 'r' at the end.

• 5 - ৫ (paanch): The 'p' is pronounced softly, and the 'ch' is like the 'ch' in "chop".

• 6 - ৬ (chhoy): This has a slight aspirated sound, so think of "chh" as in "chhota".

• 7 - ৭ (saat): A straightforward pronunciation, similar to "sat".

• 8 - ৮ (aat): Just like "aunt", but without the 'n'.

• 9 - ৯ (nob): This one is pronounced like "nob" in English.

• 10 - ১০ (doh): Just like the number two, but a bit softer.
