Two thousand one hundred and ten = du tūkstančiai šimtas dešimt More Lithuanian Numbers
One thousand five hundred = tūkstantis penki šimtai Three hundred and seventy six = trys šimtai septyniasdešimt šeši Just like other languages, you have to put the ten before the unit, hundred before the ten, thousand before the hundred, and so on. To read or spell out compound numbers, you can just use direct translation from English (just omit the word 'and' out). Some examples are ' du tūkstančiai' for 2,000 ' trys tūkstančiai ' for 3,000 ' keturi tūkstančiai' 4,000, and etc. Again the singular form is only for 1000, and the rest should use the plural form. The word that should be added to thousands is ' tūkstantis' or tūkstančiai, in plural form. The same concept should be applied to thousands. For example, šimtasfor 100 du šimtaifor 200 trys šimtaifor 300, devyni šimtaifor 900and so on. So, when using the word 'hundred', all of them should use the plural form, except for the number '100'. Specifically I use a letter substition system to write greek words in english.In the Lithuanian language for "hundreds", you can simply add the word ' šimtas ' (or šimtai, in plural form)that translates directly into 'hundred' after the number. The "names" presented here are therefore transliterations of the original greek. The Greek alphabet contains only 24 letters, a number of which have no equivalents in the english alphabet. I don't concern myself with these details, and I simply chose the first case in these instances. Latin has different names for certain numbers based on context. : Here is one of the sources I used to get the latin numbers. Basically it provides short names for the first 1000 or so counting numbers ! The next article explains the impetus for this construction. Now that I have given a sampling of the notations and naming conventions used for numbers throughout the world and through history, I would like to present my own unique naming convention. If your interested you can learn about urdu numbers at this link. I would have listed it with the other languages, but the construction for the first 100 counting numbers is irregular and doesn't follow the constructions above. There is also urdu which is very unusual. These will come in handy later as you will see, for naming large numbers. The following two tables display all the word components you would need to count to a thousand in no less than 14 different languages. This same approach ( called "transliteration" ) has been used on the Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Swahili, Sanskrit, and Thai languages.
The Greek number words here are the result of translating Greek letters to approximate English letters based on phonetics (the way the Greek letters are pronounced ). Some of these letters are analogous to English letters, but others have no counterpart.
Please note that Greek does not use the standard English alphabet, but rather the Greek alphabet which only contains 24 letters.
There is also a bonus language not shown on this chart, but there is a link that will take you to it after the chart. The following table goes over the important word components used to form number words in English, but also in 13 additional languages, including Latin, Greek, Japanese, Hebrew, Spanish, French, German, and many more! In fact, in most foreign language classes, the "number words" are some of the first things you learn. So intuitive and uniform is the idea of numbers, that it is easy to learn and understand them even when spoken in another language. If there is a universal human language, it's the language of numbers. Counting to a thousand in 14 different languages
