.

Digits from zero to ten are specific words, namely sıfır (сыфыр) [0], bir (бир) [1], iki (ики) [2], üç (үч) [3], dörd (дөрд) [4], beş (беш) [5], altı (алты) [6], yeddi (жедди) [7], səkkiz (сәккиз) [8], and doqquz (доггуз) [9].

The tens have specific names from ten to fifty, names based on the multiplier digit root from sixty to ninety: on (он) [10], iyirmi (ижирми) [20], otuz (отуз) [30], qırx (qырx) [40], əlli (әлли) [50], altmış (алтмыш) [60], yetmiş (жетмиш) [70], səksən (сәксән) [80], and doxsan (доxсан) [90].

Numbers up to ninety-nine are built by spelling out the ten, then the digit (e.g.: otuz iki (отуз ики) [32], yetmiş bir (жетмиш бир) [71]). Please note that üç (үч) [3] loses its umlaut when composed within a number (e.g.: on uç (он уч) [13]).

Hundreds are built by stating the multiplier digit, then the word for hundred (yüz, жүз), except for one hundred itself: yüz (жүз) [100], iki yüz (ики жүз) [200], üç yüz (үч жүз) [300], dörd yüz (дөрд жүз) [400], beş yüz (беш жүз) [500], altı yüz (алты жүз) [600], yeddi yüz (жедди жүз) [700], səkkiz yüz (сәккиз жүз) [800], and doqquz yüz (доггуз жүз) [900].

Thousands are built by stating the multiplier digit, then the word for thousand (min, мин), except for one thousand itself: min (мин) [1,000], iki min (ики мин мин) [2,000], üç min (үч мин) [3,000], dörd min (дөрд мин) [4,000], beş min (беш мин) [5,000], altı min (алты мин) [6,000], yeddi min (жедди мин) [7,000], səkkiz min (сәккиз мин) [8,000], and doqquz min (доггуз мин) [9,000].

Tens of thousands use the same structure, with the exception that the ten and the unit are not separated by a space (e.g.: on altı (он алты) [16], but onaltı min (оналты мин) [16,000]).

Azerbaijani language uses the short scale for big numbers, where every new word greater than a million is 1,000 times bigger than the previous term. Thus, bir milyar (бир милжар) is 10⁹ (equivalent to the US billion), and bir trilyon (бир трилжон) is 10¹² (equivalent to the US trillion).
