Arabic Number to Words (Tafqit)

Write a number in Arabic words (tafqit), with gender, case and a currency where you need one.

How to use

What it checks and how it works

Tafqit is the writing of a number in words, as on cheques and invoices. Arabic number words follow grammar: the numbers 3 to 10 take the opposite gender of the counted noun, the case changes the ending, and the counted noun is singular or plural by number range. The tool uses the open-source @0x0645/tafqit package (MIT), which implements these rules and the currencies listed in the menu, and reads digits in 0-9 or ٠-٩. Check the result before you use it in a legal or financial document, because the correct wording can depend on the document's house style and on the case your sentence needs.

Why does the gender change the number word?

In Arabic the numbers from 3 to 10 agree with the counted noun in the opposite gender, so three books and three pens use different forms of the word for three.

Which currencies are included?

Egyptian pound, Saudi riyal, UAE dirham and US dollar, with their subunits. Choose none for a plain number.

Can I use it on a cheque?

Use it to draft the wording and have it checked. Your bank or the document's author decides the final form.
