Question 22

What is the word for 10s and what is the word for 20s?

Answer 22

10s = esre : עֶשׂרֵה
20s = esrim : עֶשְׂרִים

The word for “twenty” (עֶשְׂרִים) is formed from the word for “ten” (עֶשֶׂר) plus the suffix ים (im), which is used to denote plural in Hebrew. So, the word for “twenty” (עֶשְׂרִים) literally means “tens,” indicating that it is two tens or “two tens and zero ones.”

Twenty - עֶשְׂרִים (Esrim)
