ग्यारह (gyaarah)

numeral The number eleven (11); a single-sense counting numeral.
Sense 1 : the number eleven
numeral
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: Numerals in this range show up constantly in everyday contexts -- ग्यारह बज गए (gyaarah baj gae, 'it's become eleven o'clock') for time, ग्यारह रुपये (gyaarah rupye, 'eleven rupees') at a shop, or ग्यारहवीं कक्षा (gyaarahviin kakshaa, '11th grade/class') in school talk, where the ordinal ग्यारहवाँ (gyaarahvaan) is the related form worth knowing alongside it.
Common Mistakes: 1) Like all Hindi numerals 20 and under, ग्यारह (gyaarah) is not built compositionally from 'ten' plus 'one' the way English is -- it must simply be learned as its own word, same as the other early teens.
