INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Except for the number 10 (which you already know), all the words for even tens are constructed by replacing the last syllable of the word for the first digit with the suffix un. This is very similar to the way most of these words are formed in English, by taking the beginning of the first digit and adding the suffix ty.  Twenty (20) is ishrun. Note that you take the word for two, itnan, remove the last syllable, and replace it with un. The consonants ending the first syllable do change when writing the word using the Western alphabet. Thirty (30) is thalathun. Forty (40) is arba'un. Fifty (50) is khamsun. Sixty (60) is sittun. Seventy (70) is sab'un. Eighty (80) is thamanun. Ninety (90) is tis'un. To form the words for the numbers 11 through 19, start with the word for the second digit in the number, then add the word ashar. For example, 13 would be thalatha 'ashar. A literal translation would be "three and ten." All the other numbers from 11 through 19 follow this same formula. To make compound words for larger numbers, use the word for the last digit, followed by the word for and and the connector wa-. Then add the proper word for the tens place. For example, fifty-three (53) is thalatha wa-khamsun. The literal translation is the same as for the numbers 11 through 19. Thalatha wa-khamsun could be literally translated as "three and fifty." Following a similar formula as the tens numbers, words for even hundreds are constructed by adding the word for 100, mi'a, after the multiplier digit. For example, thalatha mi’a is 300.

SUMMARY: Add the un suffix to the root digit name to make the words for the tens. Combine the digit with a form of the word for ten for 11 through 19. Use the tens word with the single digit for 21 through 99. Use the word mi'a for numbers in the hundreds.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's no way to live life unhappy. Working a pointless job, drinking away the weekends, surrounding ourselves with meaningless relationships -- it all can get quite bleak. It's no wonder being enthusiastic is a struggle when we're behind a screen 8 hours a day, eating junk and lamenting our current circumstances. However you can, find something you enjoy and stick with it. Do it as much as you can. Give your life that spark it needs to generate enthusiasm. It does not matter what it is. Whether it's building model airplanes, cooking, karate, or German karaoke, do it. Make time for it. Rearrange your schedule. Sacrifice other obligations. Make it a part of your routine. If it gives you drive and ignites a fire within you, latch onto it and latch onto it good. The enthusiasm will flow from there. Ever been in a room full of naysayers, raggin' on the government, current trends, all their coworkers and acquaintances? It sucks and it's super contagious. Before you know it, you're hating on everything, too. Don't do it! These people take what little enthusiasm can be mustered and pulverize it into oblivion. If you want to work on your positivity and enthusiasm, these people need to play a much smaller role in your life. The first step is to end your toxic friendships. If you get about 5 seconds to think about it, you'll probably have a good idea of who this means. Once the negativity is expunged, think up of three people that truly make you feel downright good. When you have free time, they should be the people you go to. They can be enthusiasm role models to boot! You know how people say if you eat junk food, you'll feel crappy all day? Well, it's true. And it's a lot harder to feel mentally in the zone when you're not physically in it, either. So eat healthy! Your enthusiasm is worth it, right?  Here's another example: have you ever been laying in bed all day, wondering why you're so exhausted? And then you realize it's because you haven't done a damn thing all day. Getting up and exercising would make you that much more energized. So start exercising! That endorphin rush will be step one to feeling the inspiration flow through your views.   Get a good night's sleep! It's so hard to be enthusiastic when we're tired. In fact, we're pretty much the opposite of enthusiastic when we're exhausted. If you haven't been sleeping lately, that could be a cause of your lack of energy. So rest up! You know that positive thinking is imperative to being enthusiastic, but finding the motivation for that positivity can be tough. To lessen the burden, make a list of things you're grateful for. Seeing a concrete list of everything you have going for will make it hard to deny why you should be enthusiastic. Don't give up after 5 minutes. Sometimes it's hard to think of things we're grateful for because we have them. We have them 24/7, so their awesomeness goes away. Your legs. Remember those? Those are awesome. Aren't you glad you have them? You know that ol' saying "practice makes perfect?" Well, it's crap. But practice does make habit. Act enthusiastic for long enough and eventually it'll be your go-to emotion. It'll take some time, but it's definitely doable. So don that enthusiastic hat of yours and start faking it! Yeah, it's gonna suck for a bit. It's gonna feel like you're being a phony. Smiling and laughing and saying things like, "Oooh, yeah!" are going to feel foreign. If nothing else, start saying them sardonically. Be chipper to poke fun at the anti-chipperness of your personality. Find an excuse to fake it until you're not faking it any longer.

SUMMARY: Find what you really enjoy and do it all the time. Keep good company. Get healthy. Make a list of things you're grateful for. Act enthusiastic.
