Why do Georgian numbers look like multiplication?

Georgian uses a vigesimal (base-20) system. For example 40 is ორმოცი (literally two-twenties) and 80 is ოთხმოცი (four-twenties); 30, 50, 70 and 90 are "previous-twenty plus ten".

What does vigesimal mean?

Vigesimal means base-20. Georgian counts the 20-99 range in twenties rather than tens, so the tens words are built from multiples of twenty plus an optional ten.

How large a number can I convert?

Up to 12 digits, which covers values into the billions (მილიარდი). The thousand, million and billion scale words are added automatically.

Is my number sent anywhere?

No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser with no network requests.

Number to Words in Georgian

Q: How are units joined to the tens?

Units attach with the connector და (and) and the trailing word drops its nominative ending — so 21 is ოცდაერთი and 75 is სამოცდათხუთმეტი.

This tool spells any whole number into Georgian words. Georgian is one of the few European languages that counts in a base-20 (vigesimal) system, and this converter applies those rules automatically. It runs entirely in your browser.

How it works

For 20-99, Georgian builds tens from multiples of twenty: 40 is ორმოცი (two-twenties), 60 is სამოცი (three-twenties), 80 is ოთხმოცი (four-twenties). The odd tens 30, 50, 70 and 90 are formed as “previous-twenty plus ten”. Units attach with the connector და (and), and the trailing word drops its nominative ending — so 21 is ოცდაერთი and 75 is სამოცდათხუთმეტი. Above 99 the hundreds, thousands, millions and billions scale words are added.

Example

The number 1234 is 1 thousand, 2 hundred and 34 (which is twenty-and-fourteen):

Part	Georgian
1000	ათას
200	ორას
34	ოცდათოთხმეტი

Read together: ათას ორას ოცდათოთხმეტი.
