What You’ll Learn Today | आज के सिक्नुहुनेछ?

Today’s lesson is all about numbers — but not just any numbers:

• How to count from 21 to 60
• Then from 70 to 100
• And finally, numbers as big as millions, billions, and trillions

💡 One very important thing we discussed is that in French, “billion” means “trillion” in English — which can be confusing if you’re reading financial or scientific data!

Let’s break it down:

🔢 Counting from 21 to 60 | २१ देखि ६० सम्मको गणना

After 20, French numbers follow a simple pattern:

Tens + et/un + unit
Example:

• 21 = vingt et un (भान्ते आँ)
• 22 = vingt-deux (भान्त दु)
• 30 = trente (थ्रन्त)
• 40 = quarante (क्वाहन्त)
• 50 = cinquante (साङ्काङ्त)
• 60 = soixante (स्वासान्त)

📌 Remember:

• 21 uses et un/une (like “and one”)
• Every first number after tens uses et in between, eg. 31 – trente et un, 41 is quarante et un, similar for 51, 61
• From 22 to 69 , it’s just tens + number. Here, replace et with –. eg, 22 is vingt-deux, 34 is trente-quatre
• We have to use a dash “-“ for the numbers less than hundred which are constructed using two words.

💥 The Fun Part: 70 to 99 | मजेदार हिस्सा: ७० देखि ९९

Here’s where French gets unique:

• 70 = soixante-dix (60 + 10 )
• 71 = soixante-onze (60 + 11 )
• 80 = quatre-vingts (4 x 20 )
• 90 = quatre-vingt-dix (4 x 20 + 10 )
• 99 = quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (4 x 20 + 19 )

Yes, they literally count in 20s after 60! 😅
(यसैले फ्रेंचमा ८० भन्ने भनेको “चार बीस” अर्थात् चौ-बीस हुन्छ! जसरी हामी नेपालीको पनि हजुरबुवा, हजुरआमाहरुले बीसमा गणना गर्नुहुन्छ, जस्तैः ४० लाई दुई बीस, १२० लाई छ बीस।)

🌍 Big Numbers: Million, Billion, Trillion | ठूला सङ्ख्याहरू: मिलियन, बिलियन, ट्रिलियन

Now let’s go really big:

नेपाली	English	French
एक लाख	Hundred thousand	cent mille
१० लाख	One million	un million (आँ मिलियो)
१० करोड़	One billion	un milliard (आँ मिलियाड)
१००० करोड़	One trillion	un billion (आँ बिलियो)

📌 Important Note :
In French, “un billion” = 1 Trillion (English)
And “un milliard” = 1 Billion (English)
So when you see billion in French, it’s actually bigger than you think!

That’s it for Day 5 ! By now, you should feel confident counting in French from 0 to even the largest numbers — and most importantly, understand how French and English differ when talking about billions and trillions .

Tomorrow , we dive into two of the most important verbs in French: être (to be) and avoir (to have) — these are the building blocks of many sentences!
भोलि हामी फ्रेंचका दुई महत्वपूर्ण क्रियापदहरू – être र avoir – सिक्नेछौं।

Don’t forget to review Day 4 where we talked about family members in French before moving forward.

✅ Daily Practice Tip:

Try writing out your phone number or date of birth in French using today’s lessons. For example:

Je suis né en mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix.
(म १९९० मा जन्मिएको हुँ।)
