Numbers 1–10

संख्याएँ १–१०

Spanish numbers 1–10 are simple standalone words, and Hindi's एक–दस are simple standalone words too — but unlike Spanish's uno/una, Hindi's एक never changes form for gender at all.

Grammar Comparison

व्याकरण तुलना

uno changes for gender; Hindi's एक doesn't

Spanish

un libro (one book, masc.) / una casa (one house, fem.)

Hindi

एक किताब / एक घर — 'एक' नहीं बदलता

uno ('one') is the only number 1–10 that changes form to match the gender of the noun it counts — un for masculine nouns, una for feminine. Hindi's एक stays exactly the same either way (एक किताब, एक घर) — Hindi shows gender agreement on adjectives and verbs instead, never on the number word itself.
