Read as ‘Number’ – ‘Tamil Equivalent’ – ‘English Equivalent’

1 = ONDRU -one
10 = PATTHU -ten
100 = NOORU -hundred
1000 = AAYIRAM -thousand
10000 = PATTAYIRAM -ten thousand
100000 = NOORAYIRAM -hundred thousand
1000000 = PATTU NOORAYIRAM - one million
10000000 = KODI -ten million
100000000 = ARPUTHAM -hundred million
1000000000 = NIGARPUTAM - one billion
10000000000 = KUMBAM -ten billion
100000000000 = KANAM -hundred billion
1000000000000 = KARPAM -one trillion
10000000000000 = NIKARPAM -ten trillion
100000000000000 = PATHUMAM -hundred trillion
1000000000000000 = SANGGAM -one zillion
10000000000000000 = VELLAM -ten zillion
100000000000000000 = ANNIYAM -hundred zillion
1000000000000000000 = ARTTAM -????????
10000000000000000000 = PARARTTAM -- ????????
100000000000000000000 = POORIYAM -- ????????
