Wiki and other online articles are too darn complicated to make a meaning out of them. I need to know how 2010 is written please.

id be glad to help but im not quite sure what you need help with. if you are looking for the date 2010 in hebrew:

אלפיים ועשר

this should be it. its quite early in the morning, and im quite drowsy, but that should be right.

try this

תש"ע

if you want, you can also use this

ה'תש"ע

It is not the number, rather its the year 2010 and it will begin September 19th

right now its...

ה'תשס"ט

cmacq-
when referring to the year according to Judaism in hebrew we use the method you said. but when we use the secular year- in other words, starting from year 0, we use the meathod i used, using words.

Thanks to both of you.

It's the year 2010 indeed but since the subject matter is about several numeral systems used together, I'd rather have it as a cardinal number rather than the year told. So, let's say it's just the number 2010, then how would we write it? Like I concluded?

TIA

PS: It's about a friend of mine designing a composition of ceramic tiles on which the year (hence the number) 2010 will be written in various numeral systems. She asked my help and I compiled 13 variations, including the Hebrew. Here they are:

  • ΧΧΔ .......... Attic
  • ͵βι .......... Greek
  • MMX .......... Roman
  • ٢٠١٠ .......... Arabic-Indic
  • 2010 .......... Arabic
  • २०१० .......... Devanagari
  • ௨೦௧೦ .......... Grantha (Tamil)
  • ༢༠༡༠ .......... Devanagari
  • ๒๐๑๐ .......... Thai
  • ໒ ໐ ໑໐ .......... Lao
  • 二千十 .......... Chinese (Mandarin) & Japanese
  • ՍԺ .......... Armenian
  • ב׳י .......... Hebrew (???)

Well if you are after the year rather than the number, in Chinese you can't have "ten" in there but must use "one" and zero" instead.

If it is the year, is it right?

Japanese just uses Arabic

But if you must use characters, then 二千十 is fine.
Not sure about the Chinese though.

If its the year, its two zero one zero (二O一O年) [note you normally need to use 年 after the number sequence]. In more modern ways, some people use arabic numerals. If its a simple number, then twothousand ten.

Added the two-zero-one-zero Chinese too.

Still need confirmation for the Hebrew. To clarify, I'm looking for the expression "2010" rather than "two thousand ten". The point here is using the numeral system.

OK. Kept the numeral thingie (was hard to figure, don't wanna waste it ) but added Hoahguy's worded version too. It's kinda urgent, though we can update her with corrections for a little while longer, I believe...
