Note: There is no concept of ‘million’ in Gujarati

 

While reading a number of more than two digits, no ‘and’ is required as in English. Examples:

ÊÎÑ                       bso Ag8ois]aer

Ë,ÎÐÏ                   {a8 jhar 2so isTyasI                      

Í,ÉÐ,ÑÈÍ           pa&c la`, A7ar hjar, nvso pa&c

 

However, while doing counting the conjunction ne may be used while reading the last two digits. If the penultimate digit is 0 (zero) the ne may be used with the last digit. Examples:

ÊÎÑ                       bsone Ag8ois]aer

Ë,ÎÐÏ                   {a8 jhar 2sone isTyasI                   

Í,ÉÐ,ÑÈÍ           pa&c la`, A7ar hjar, nvsone pa&c

 

Ordinals
