Amharic has its own traditional number system that is still used in some cultural and liturgical contexts. It's different from the "Arabic numerals" (0–9) that are common worldwide.
Here are the basic Amharic numerals (፩–፼):
| Number | Symbol | Amharic Name |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ፩ | |
| 2 | ፪ | |
| 3 | ፫ | |
| 4 | ፬ | |
| 5 | ፭ | |
| 6 | ፮ | |
| 7 | ፯ | |
| 8 | ፰ | |
| 9 | ፱ | |
| 10 | ፲ | |
| 20 | ፳ | |
| 30 | ፴ | |
| 40 | ፵ | |
| 50 | ፶ | |
| 60 | ፷ | |
| 70 | ፸ | |
| 80 | ፹ | |
| 90 | ፺ | |
| 100 | ፻ | |
| 200 | ፪፻ | |
| 300 | ፫፻ | |
| 400 | ፬፻ | |
| 500 | ፭፻ | |
| 600 | ፮፻ | |
| 700 | ፯፻ | |
| 800 | ፰፻ | |
| 900 | ፱፻ | |
| 1,000 | ፲፻ | |
| 10,000 | ፼ |
Example Numbers
- 2,025 → ፳፻፳፭
- 187 → ፻፹፯
- 50,000 → ፭፼
Reading tips
Combine Geeʼz numerals from largest value to smallest. ፳፻፲፫ = 2013 EC: ፳ (20) × ፻ (100) gives 2000, then ፲፫ adds 13.
Pagume includes only five days—six on leap years—so it is perfect for highlighting seasonal content before the Ethiopian New Year.
