As you can see, the numbers in Bosnian can be quite straightforward. The first ten numbers form the base for larger numbers, which is a useful pattern to remember.

Counting Beyond Ten

After ten, the numbers follow a systematic pattern. For example:

• eleven is "jedanaest," which combines the word for "one" (jedan) with a suffix.

• twelve is "dvanaest," which combines the word for "two" (dva) with the same suffix.

This pattern continues through the teens, making it easier to recognize how numbers are formed. The same goes for the tens:

• twenty-one is "dvadeset i jedan"

• thirty-five is "trideset i pet"

• forty-nine is "četrdeset i devet"

You will notice that when counting beyond the tens (like twenty, thirty, etc.), you will say the tens first and then add "i" (and) followed by the unit.

Practice Reading and Writing Numbers

Now that we have a good grasp of the numbers, let's practice reading and writing them in various contexts.

Shopping Dialogue Example

Imagine you’re at a market:

• You: "Koliko košta ova jabuka?" (How much does this apple cost?)

• Seller: "Ova jabuka košta tri konvertibilne marke." (This apple costs three convertible marks.)

• You: "Dajem vam pet." (I give you five.)

In this example, you can see how numbers factor into everyday conversations.

Telling the Time Example

When telling the time, numbers are also essential:

• It’s three o’clock. can be translated as "Tri je sata."

• It’s seven thirty. would be "Sedam i po."
