Hindi ginti 1 to 100 is something most children in India learn in Class 1 or Class 2, and many parents find it harder to teach than expected. English number names follow a neat pattern after twenty; Hindi numbers do not, and words like उनहत्तर and उन्यासी trip up adults too.

Quick answer: Hindi counting from 1 to 100 (एक से सौ तक, ek se sau tak):
- 1 to 10: एक, दो, तीन, चार, पाँच, छह, सात, आठ, नौ, दस.
- The tens: दस (10), बीस (20), तीस (30), चालीस (40), पचास (50), साठ (60), सत्तर (70), अस्सी (80), नब्बे (90), सौ (100).
- Tricky ones: most numbers ending in 9 start with उन- (“one less than”), such as उनतीस 29 and उनहत्तर 69. 89 (नवासी) and 99 (निन्यानवे) are exceptions.
- How to learn: 5 to 10 minutes a day, one decade at a time, with games rather than rote chanting alone.
Hindi ginti 1 to 100: the full table
Each row shows the number in digits and Devanagari numerals (अंक, ank), then the Hindi word with a simple transliteration. Transliteration is only a guide for parents; children should learn to read the Devanagari word itself.

Spelling variants you may see
Spellings differ slightly between books. Common variants: छह or छः (6), पंद्रह or पन्द्रह (15), उन्यासी or उनासी (79), पंचानवे or पिचानवे (95), निन्यानवे or निन्यानबे (99). Follow your child’s school book so dictation and tests match.
Devanagari numerals: ० to ९
Hindi numbers can be written with the international digits (1, 2, 3) that most Indian books use, or with Devanagari numerals. Many Hindi textbooks still show both, so learn the ten basic numerals: ० (0, शून्य shunya), १ (1), २ (2), ३ (3), ४ (4), ५ (5), ६ (6), ७ (7), ८ (8), ९ (9).
Bigger numbers work the same way: 23 is २३ and 100 is १००. Note that ९ (9) can look like an 8 to a beginner, so keep a small numeral card on the study table.
Patterns that make Hindi numbers easier
Learning 100 separate words sounds impossible, but there are patterns.
1. Learn the tens first
First make sure your child knows the ten “anchor” words: दस, बीस, तीस, चालीस, पचास, साठ, सत्तर, अस्सी, नब्बे, सौ. Many decades share an ending with their tens word: the sixties end in -सठ (sath) like साठ (इकसठ, बासठ), and the seventies end in -हत्तर (hattar) like सत्तर (इकहत्तर, बहत्तर).
2. Listen for the first sound
The start of each word often hints at the units digit:
- Numbers ending in 1 usually start with इक- or इक्य- (ik, ikya): इक्कीस 21, इकतीस 31, इकतालीस 41, इक्यावन 51, इकसठ 61, इकहत्तर 71, इक्यासी 81, इक्यानवे 91.
- Numbers ending in 2 usually start with ब- (ba): बाईस 22, बत्तीस 32, बयालीस 42, बावन 52, बासठ 62, बहत्तर 72, बयासी 82, बानवे 92.
- Numbers ending in 3 start with त- (t): तेईस 23, तैंतीस 33, तैंतालीस 43, तिरपन 53, तिरसठ 63, तिहत्तर 73, तिरासी 83, तिरानवे 93.
- Numbers ending in 4 start with चौ- (chau): चौबीस 24, चौंतीस 34, चवालीस 44 (the odd one), चौवन 54, चौंसठ 64, चौहत्तर 74, चौरासी 84, चौरानवे 94.
- Numbers ending in 8 start with अ- (a): अट्ठाईस 28, अड़तीस 38, अड़तालीस 48, अट्ठावन 58, अड़सठ 68, अठहत्तर 78, अट्ठासी 88, अट्ठानवे 98.
3. The tricky “un-” numbers
The prefix उन- (un) means “one less than”. So उनतीस (29) is literally “one less than thirty”, and उनचास (49) is “one less than fifty”. This is the same idea as nineteen in Hindi: उन्नीस is one less than बीस.
The full set: उन्नीस (unnees) 19, उनतीस (untees) 29, उनतालीस (untaalees) 39, उनचास (unchaas) 49, उनसठ (unsath) 59, उनहत्तर (unhattar) 69 and उन्यासी (unyaasi) 79. Two exceptions break the rule: 89 is नवासी (navaasi), which comes from नव (nava), the Sanskrit word for nine, and 99 is निन्यानवे (ninyaanave), which is best learned on its own.
Remind your child: when a number ends in 9, look at the next ten.
Hindi ginti worksheet: make your own in 10 minutes
Four simple Hindi ginti worksheet formats you can draw in a notebook:
- Match the number to the word. Write five numbers (for example 21, 24, 29, 33, 38) on the left and their Hindi words in a jumbled order on the right. Your child draws lines to match.
- Fill the gap. Write a sequence with blanks: पचास, इक्यावन, ____, तिरपन, ____. Answers: बावन, चौवन.
- Write in digits. Write Hindi words such as उनसठ, बहत्तर, अड़सठ and ask your child to write the number. Answers: 59, 72, 68.
- Devanagari numeral match. Write ३५, ४७, ८२ and ask for the English digits. Answers: 35, 47, 82.
Keep each sheet to 5 to 8 questions. For the youngest learners, stick to १ to १० and use pictures to count. You can use the same approach to practise English number names with our number names 1 to 100 guide.
Hindi ginti 1 to 50 first: a 4-week plan
Most children do best when they master Hindi ginti 1 to 50 before moving on. This plan assumes 10 minutes a day, five days a week, in Class 1 or 2. For UKG, stretch each week into two or three.
| Week | Focus | Daily activity |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 1 to 20 and the numerals १ to ९ | Count objects aloud in Hindi, match numeral cards to digits |
| Week 2 | The tens (10 to 100) and 21 to 30 | Say the tens like a rhyme, then read 21 to 30 from the table |
| Week 3 | 31 to 50 and the “un-” rule | Read one decade a day, write five numbers in words |
| Week 4 | 51 to 100, five decades | One decade a day, then a mixed quiz on Friday |
After week 4, keep a weekly 5-minute review, as Hindi numbers fade quickly without use.

Games for Hindi counting 1 to 100 in words
- Kitne? (कितने?, how many?). Put a handful of buttons or beans on the table and ask “कितने?”. Your child counts in Hindi.
- Hindi number snap. Make two sets of cards: one with digits, one with Hindi words. Turn them over in pairs; when a digit and word match, the first to say “snap” keeps them.
- Ginti tambola. Make small tambola tickets with numbers 1 to 50. Call the numbers only in Hindi. Children must listen carefully, which is great for the tricky words.
Common mistakes to watch for
- Mixing up तैंतीस, पैंतीस and सैंतीस (33, 35, 37). They rhyme, so say them slowly and point to the first sound: त, प, स.
- Writing चार for 40. चालीस is the tens word; चार is 4.
Where to start with printable Hindi number practice
If your child is still learning Hindi letters, number words will be hard, because they include letters such as ड़ and half letters like the त्त in सत्तर. Start with the alphabet and the first ten numbers. Our guides on the Hindi varnamala chart with pictures and swar and vyanjan worksheets cover that first step, and Hindi worksheets for Class 1 shows what usually comes next.
Our Hindi Varnamala Tracing Worksheets PDF (48 A4 pages, ages 3 to 6) covers all 13 स्वर and 36 व्यंजन on Hindi शिरोरेखा writing lines with picture words, plus two pages of Hindi numbers १ to १० with tracing and counting and a count-and-circle page. It is the starting point for numbers, not a 1 to 100 workbook, so pair it with the table above for older children.

Frequently asked questions
What is 1 to 100 counting called in Hindi?
Counting is called गिनती (ginti) in Hindi, and counting from one to a hundred is often called एक से सौ तक गिनती (ek se sau tak ginti).
Which Hindi numbers are the hardest for children?
The numbers ending in 9 are usually the hardest, because most of them start with उन- and refer to the next ten, such as उनतीस for 29 and उनहत्तर for 69. The 30s and 40s that rhyme, such as तैंतीस, पैंतीस and सैंतीस, are also often mixed up.
How do you write 79 and 99 in Hindi?
79 is उन्यासी (unyaasi), also spelled उनासी in some books, and 99 is निन्यानवे (ninyaanave), sometimes spelled निन्यानबे. Follow the spelling used in your child’s school book.
At what age should a child learn Hindi ginti 1 to 100?
Many schools introduce Hindi numbers 1 to 10 in UKG and work up to 50 or 100 in Class 1 and Class 2. The exact timing varies by school and board, so check the syllabus your child follows.
Should children learn Devanagari numerals or English digits?
Most Indian school books use English digits, but many Hindi textbooks and worksheets also show Devanagari numerals. Learning both ० to ९ is quick and helps children read Hindi books and calendars with confidence.
