• п'ять (pyat') - The apostrophe indicates a slight pause; it sounds like "pyat."

• шість (shist') - Pronounced "sheest," with a soft "sh."

• сім (sim) - Similar to "sim" in English.

• вісім (visim) - Pronounced "vee-sim," with emphasis on the first syllable.

• дев'ять (dev'yat') - The apostrophe indicates the softening of the "d," pronounced "dye-vyat."
