The masculine numbers from 3 to 10
In Arabic, we saw in the previous lessons we already knew that there are three numbers situations:
When you want to describe a single situation with a feminine noun, you can use the following construction:
وَاحِدَةٌ + noun
Example:
و طالِبَة واحِدَةٌ من مالِيزيا
and one student is from Malaysia.
We know already that in the dual situation, we add the suffix ان or يْن according to the noun case.
Example:
و طالِبَتَانِ من الصِّيْنِ
and two students are from China
Now, we are going to the numbers from 3 to 10. In Arabic, the numbers are called الأعْدَادُ, and the counted noun is called مَعْدُودٌ. The number is always at the opposite gender of the counted noun. Thus, if the noun is feminine, the number will be masculine. Also, the counted number is plural in the genitive case.
Example:
- ثَلَاثُ طالِبَاتٍ – three students
- أَرْبَعُ طالِبَاتٍ – four students
- خَمْسُ طالِبَاتٍ – five students
- سِتُ طالِبَاتٍ – six students
- سَبْعُ طالِبَاتٍ – seven students
- ثَمَنانِيْ طالِبَاتٍ – eight students
- تِسْعُ طالِبَاتٍ – nine students
- عَشَرُ طالِبَاتٍ – ten students
Conclusion

- The masculine numbers from 3 to 10 with a masculine noun.
InshaAllah, we will study the indeclinable nouns in Arabic, in the next lesson.
