Learning objectives

Recognise the same number in Arabic and Devanagari digits.

Compare the displayed romanisation and available audio with the written Hindi form.

Concepts and principles

A number can be represented by distinct numeral scripts without changing its quantity.
Hindi number names are lexical forms to be learned; not all are formed by a uniform concatenation rule.
Romanisation is an aid to reading, not a full replacement for authentic pronunciation.

Examples and worked solutions

How does the reference represent fifteen?: Worked solution: Arabic 15, Devanagari १५, Hindi name पंद्रह; the supplied romanisation is pandrah.

Play the associated audio where available and pronounce the Hindi name aloud.

Expected observations and explanations

Listening helps connect orthography with pronunciation.
