When you're just starting out with Estonian, numbers are super important! Sada is how you say 'hundred'. It's a simple, straightforward word, and you'll use it all the time when talking about quantities.
Think about things like prices, ages, or how many of something there are. If you want to say 'one hundred', you just say sada. For example, you might see something priced at 'sada eurot', which means 'a hundred euros'.
It's a foundational number, so getting comfortable with sada early on will really help you build your vocabulary for bigger numbers too. Just remember: sada means 'hundred'!
When counting in Estonian, 'sada' means 'hundred'. It behaves like other numbers. For example, 'üks sada' (one hundred) or 'kaks sada' (two hundred). Unlike some languages, 'sada' doesn't change its ending for cases, it stays 'sada'. This makes it quite straightforward to use when you're talking about quantities of a hundred.

§ How to use 'sada' in a sentence
The word 'sada' means 'hundred' in Estonian. It's a simple number, but like many words, its form can change depending on how you use it in a sentence. Estonian grammar uses cases, which can seem tricky at first, but with numbers like 'sada', it's often straightforward, especially when counting or referring to a general quantity.
When you're just stating the number, or counting, 'sada' stays as 'sada'.
Üks, kaks, kolm... kuni sada.
English hint: One, two, three... up to hundred.
When 'sada' is used with a noun, the noun itself will be in the partitive case, which is one of the trickiest cases for beginners. Don't worry too much about mastering all cases right now, just recognize the pattern. For 'sada', the general rule is that the thing you are counting will be in its partitive singular form if it's a countable noun. However, for a simple count, you often just use 'sada' followed by the noun in the partitive plural if it's a specific amount of things.
Mul on sada
English hint: I have a hundred books.
See maksab sada
English hint: It costs a hundred euros.
When 'sada' is part of a larger number, like two hundred, three hundred, etc., it will often combine with the preceding number. For example, 'kaks sada' (two hundred), 'kolm sada' (three hundred). When written, these are usually joined as one word: 'kakssada', 'kolmsada'.
Ma jooksin kakssada meetrit.
English hint: I ran two hundred meters.
Prepositions are usually placed after the noun they relate to in Estonian (postpositions). However, 'sada' as a number doesn't usually take a direct preposition itself in the same way other nouns might. Instead, the preposition would relate to the entire phrase involving 'sada' and the noun it modifies.
For example, if you want to say 'from a hundred', you would use the elative case for 'sada' if it was standing alone, or apply the case to the noun it modifies. But for simple counting, you'll see 'sada' mostly in its basic form (nominative) or influencing the case of the following noun.
Umbes sada inimest tuli kohale.
English hint: About a hundred people showed up.
The key takeaway for 'sada' at an A1 level is to recognize it as 'hundred' and to know that when counting items, the item usually takes the partitive plural form. Don't stress over all the grammar nuances yet; focus on understanding it in simple sentences.
§ Common phrases with 'sada'
Sada protsenti: A hundred percent (meaning completely, absolutely)
Olen sada protsenti kindel.
English hint: I am one hundred percent sure.
Sada aastat: A hundred years
See maja on üle saja aasta vana.
English hint: This house is over a hundred years old.
Practice using 'sada' in simple counting exercises and listen for it in spoken Estonian. You'll get the hang of it quickly!
§ Basic Meaning of 'sada'
The Estonian word 'sada' directly translates to 'hundred' in English. It's a fundamental number you'll encounter often. Like in English, it can refer to the quantity of one hundred items or simply the numerical value itself.

सुझाव
Numbers are tricky
In Estonian, numbers like 'sada' (one hundred) are often followed by the genitive case when referring to a quantity of something. For example, 'sada raamatut' means 'a hundred books'.
Pronunciation practice
The 'a' in 'sada' is pronounced like the 'a' in 'father'. The 's' is like in 'snake'. Say it out loud: sah-dah. Practice saying it until it feels natural.
Counting in hundreds
To say 'two hundred', you combine 'kaks' (two) with 'sada': 'kakssada'. Similarly, 'kolmsada' is 'three hundred', and so on. Notice how the numbers are joined together.
Don't confuse with 'saada'
Be careful not to confuse 'sada' (one hundred) with 'saada' (to send/to get). While they sound similar, their meanings are entirely different. Context is key.
Big numbers
When dealing with larger numbers, 'sada' is a building block. For example, 'tuhat kaheksasada' means 'one thousand eight hundred'. You're essentially saying 'thousand and eight hundred'.
Writing numbers
In Estonian, numbers are often written out in words for formal contexts or smaller figures. Knowing 'sada' is essential for writing out larger numbers correctly.
Estonian currency and 'sada'
While Estonia uses the Euro, you might encounter older contexts or expressions where 'sada' was used with the former currency, the kroon. This is good for understanding historical references.
Using 'sada' in sentences
Try forming simple sentences. For example: 'Mul on sada eurot.' (I have a hundred euros.) or 'See maksab sada krooni.' (It costs a hundred kroons.) This helps solidify understanding.
Ordinal numbers
The ordinal form for 'sada' (hundredth) is 'sajas'. This comes in handy when talking about 'the hundredth day' ('sajas päev') or 'the hundredth time' ('sajas kord').
Listen for 'sada'
Pay attention when listening to Estonian radio, TV, or podcasts. Try to catch when 'sada' is used. This passive learning helps reinforce the word's meaning and pronunciation.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालWhen you're counting, 'sada' just means 'hundred'. For example, 'sada raamatut' means 'a hundred books'. You don't need any special endings for 'sada' in this case. Remember, the noun after 'sada' will be in the partitive case, which is a key grammar point you'll learn as you progress.
Yes, 'sada' does change its form depending on its role in the sentence, just like most Estonian nouns. This is called declension. You'll learn about different cases later on, but for now, the basic form 'sada' is what you need for simple counting.
Absolutely! If you're talking about money, 'sada' works the same way. For instance, 'sada eurot' means 'a hundred euros'. It's very straightforward.
That's a good question! 'Sada' means 'hundred' (the number). 'Sajand' means 'century' (a period of one hundred years). So, 'sada' is a number, and 'sajand' is a unit of time.
You just say 'sada'. We don't usually say 'üks sada' (one hundred) unless we want to emphasize that it's *exactly* one hundred and not, for example, two hundred. Just 'sada' is enough.
Yes, a common one is 'sada korda', which means 'a hundred times'. You might hear people say it to emphasize something, like 'Ma ütlesin seda sada korda!' (I said that a hundred times!).
You write it as 'sada'. Simple as that! No hyphens or anything extra.
Yes, 'sada' specifically means the number 100. It's not an approximation when used literally. If you want to say 'about a hundred', you'd use a different construction, like 'umbes sada'.
The pronunciation is pretty straightforward. Think 'sah-dah'. The 'a' sounds are like the 'a' in 'father'. The 'd' is like the 'd' in 'dog'.
After 'sada', you continue with 'sada üks' (one hundred one), 'sada kaks' (one hundred two), and so on. It's very logical once you get the hang of it, similar to English.

Kuigi alguses oli vastupanu, mõistis kogukond lõpuks, et see otsus oli parim pikas perspektiivis, soodustades ühtsust ja pakkudes uusi võimalusi.
