What a learner can do afterwards
- Can explain Counting one to ten
1 · Read
Let us count in Persian from one to ten.
yek (یک) is one, do (دو) is two, se (سه) is three, châhâr (چهار) is four, and panj (پنج) is five.
shesh (شش) is six, haft (هفت) is seven, hasht (هشت) is eight, noh (نه) is nine, and dah (ده) is ten.
Try it together
Count your ten fingers out loud: yek, do, se, châhâr, panj, shesh, haft, hasht, noh, dah.
Good to know
panj is five, like one whole hand.
In Persian we count yek, do, se up to dah, which is ten.
