So today let us talk about counting.
Specifically, numbers 21 through 25.
Wait, 21? That sounds complicated.
Is it not just 21?
You say 1 and 20.
It is like adding the smaller number to the bigger one.
1 and 20.
Okay, that makes sense.
It is logical, actually.
Very efficient.
Exactly.
Let us start with the base word for 20.
The word is Arshun.
Listen closely.
Good.
Now, to make 21, we take 1, which is Wechidn and Adwa, which means end, then Arshun.
So, Wechidn and Arshun.
واحد وعشرون One and twenty.
Twenty-one.
Got it.
Let us repeat it together.
Say it slowly.
