Explanation
เจ็ดสิบ combines เจ็ด “seven” with สิบ “ten,” literally forming “seven tens,” or seventy. It is written as 70 in Arabic numerals and ๗๐ in Thai numerals. It comes before units in expressions such as เจ็ดสิบบาท “seventy baht” and อายุเจ็ดสิบปี “seventy years old.” When counting people or objects, it is commonly used with the appropriate classifier, such as คน for people. Numbers from 71 to 79 are formed as เจ็ดสิบเอ็ด “71,” เจ็ดสิบสอง “72,” and เจ็ดสิบเก้า “79.”
Usage
It is used whenever stating seventy of something, including prices, quantities, ages, times, distances, weights, and scores. It is also the normal way to read the numeral 70 aloud.
Caution
Do not confuse เจ็ดสิบ “70” with สิบเจ็ด “17.” Also, 71 is normally เจ็ดสิบเอ็ด, not เจ็ดสิบหนึ่ง. When counting people or objects, an appropriate classifier is often required.
