In Punjabi, numbers 11-20 are irregular. You cannot simply say "ten-one." They have distinct names that must be memorized.

From 21 onwards, Punjabi uses a simple formula: Tens + (and) + Ones.
Example:
Here is the quick run-down for perfect multiples of ten (30-90):
| Number | Punjabi | Transliteration | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 30 | ੩੦ | Tih | | 40 | ੪੦ | Chalee | | 50 | ੫੦ | Vanjha | | 60 | ੬੦ | Sath | | 70 | ੭੦ | Sattar | | 80 | ੮੦ | Assi | | 90 | ੯੦ | Nabbe |
How to say 37: Tih (30) + Satt (7) = Tih satt How to say 82: Assi (80) + Do (2) = Assi do
