Numbers in Irish

Last updated July 15, 2026
Rosmerta basking with a book from her library.

Irish counts in more than one way. There is a set of numbers for counting on their own (a haon, a dó, a trí for one, two, three), a separate set for counting people (duine, beirt, triúr for one, two, and three people), and forms used when counting objects, which change the noun that follows. Each number below has its pronunciation and source.
