The start. Gender agreement exists in Tajik but vanishes in speech most of the time, so do not worry about it.
Du for two. Counting is refreshingly normal through the first ten: se, char, panj, шаш, haft, hasht, nuh, dah.
Se, straightforward. No surprises yet.
Char in many transliterations. Tajik C is usually pronounced like CH in English, but here it is a glottal sound. Stress: CHOR.
Dah is ten and stays normal. Twenty is bist, thirty si, forty chil, fifty panjoh, sixty shast, seventy haftad, eighty hashtad, ninety navad, one hundred sad.
