Numbers 1-10

Tap any tile to hear the Tamil word for that number.

The first ten numbers carry their weight far beyond counting — they appear in prices, phone numbers, addresses, time and recipes every day. Each tile shows the Arabic numeral, the Tamil word, and a romanisation; tap it to hear it spoken.

Count from 1 to 10 aloud without looking at the tiles. The endings tell you which group a number belongs to: –ṟu (ஒன்று, மூன்று, ஆறு), –ṭu (இரண்டு, ஐந்து, எட்டு), and the odd ones out (நான்கு, ஏழு, ஒன்பது, பத்து).
