Números Árabes 11-19: Dominando a Concordância de Gênero

Para 13-19, a unidade inverte o gênero e a dezena combina; use sempre o substantivo no singular acusativo.

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

For numbers 13-19, the first part of the number flips gender against the noun, while 'ten' matches it.

  • Number 11: Both parts match the noun gender (e.g., أحدَ عشرَ كوكباً).
  • Number 12: Both parts match the noun gender (e.g., اثنتا عشرةَ سنةً).
  • Numbers 13-19: The first part is opposite gender, the second part matches (e.g., ثلاثَ عشرةَ بنتًا).
11-12: [Noun Gender] = [Part 1] + [Part 2] | 13-19: [Noun Gender] ≠ [Part 1] + [Part 2]

Overview

Visão Geral
Os números compostos em árabe (11-19) são fascinantes. Eles mudam de gênero de uma forma que parece confusa no início, mas tem uma lógica clara...
Como essa gramática funciona
11 e 12 são os 'casais perfeitos': ambos os lados concordam com o substantivo. Do 13 ao 19, temos os 'irmãos rebeldes': a primeira parte é o oposto do gênero do nome, enquanto a segunda parte (o dez) concorda...
Padrão de Formação
  1. 1Verifique o gênero do substantivo.
  2. 211/12: Concordância total.
  3. 313-19: Unidade oposta, dezena igual.
  4. 4O substantivo fica sempre no singular e no acusativo...
[Rest of headings follow same pattern]

🎯

O Atalho do 'Inverte e Combina'

Para 13-19, visualize a unidade como rebelde. Se o substantivo for feminino, a primeira parte do número parece masculina (sem 'ta marbuta'): «ثلاث عشرة رسالةً».
⚠️

Apenas Singular!

Nunca use o plural depois de 11-19. Mesmo se você tiver 19 alunos, em árabe dizemos 'dezenove aluno': «تسعة عشر طالباً».
💬

Dialeto vs. Fusha

Smart Tips

Identify the noun gender first, then pick the opposite gender for the first digit.

ثلاثة عشر كتاب ثلاثة عشر كتابًا

Always use the singular accusative form for the noun.

ثلاثة عشر كتب ثلاثة عشر كتابًا

Pause slightly before the noun to ensure you have the correct gender.

ثلاثة عشر كتاب ثلاثة عشر كتابًا

Remember: 11-12 match, 13-19 flip.

Pronúncia

THALA-tashra

Stress

The stress usually falls on the first part of the compound number.

Declarative

عندي ثلاثةَ عشرَ كتابًا ↘

Falling intonation for statements.

Memorize

Mnemônico

The first digit is a rebel; it always goes against the noun. The 'ten' is a loyal friend; it always matches the noun.

Associação visual

Imagine a seesaw. If the noun is on the left (heavy/masculine), the first number digit sits on the right (light/feminine) to balance it out.

Rhyme

Thirteen to nineteen, the first part must flip, the second part matches, don't let it slip!

Story

Imagine a classroom with 13 boys. The boys are masculine, so the 'three' must be feminine (ثلاثَ). The 'ten' stays masculine (عشر). You see them walking in a line: 'ثلاثَ عشرَ ولداً'.

Word Web

Desafio

Formal MSA rules are strictly followed in media and official documents.

These compound numbers evolved from ancient Semitic counting systems where gender concord was strictly enforced.
