Counting from 1 to 10

The basics are simple: Một (1), Hai (2), Ba (3), Bốn (4), Năm (5), Sáu (6), Bảy (7), Tám (8), Chín (9), Mười (10).

Important Rules

Things get interesting after 10! The two most important rules to remember are for numbers ending in 1 and 5.

• Use mốt for numbers ending in 1 (e.g., hai mươi mốt - 21).
• Use lăm for numbers ending in 5 (e.g., ba mươi lăm - 35).
