In Arabic words
In English words
Check the words before you sign a cheque or send an invoice.
Cheques, contracts and invoices in the Gulf often need the amount written in Arabic words, and bilingual invoices need it in English too. Type the amount, pick the currency and copy the words.
The Arabic follows the grammar of numbers: one and two after the noun, the reversed gender of 3 to 10, the singular after 11 to 99, and the right forms of thousand and million. Everything is worked out in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
How to use it
- Type the amount, with decimals if there are any.
- Pick the currency.
- Tick “Only … no more” for a cheque, and English if you need both languages.
- Press Copy and paste the words into your cheque, invoice or contract.
Questions
What is tafqeet?
Tafqeet (تفقيط) means writing an amount in words, as on a cheque or invoice, so that it cannot be changed. In the Gulf it is usually written as «فقط … لا غير» (“only … no more”).
Why does the currency name change, like ريالان, ريالات or ريالاً?
In Arabic the counted noun changes with the number: dual for 2 (ريالان), plural for 3 to 10 (ثلاثة ريالات), accusative singular for 11 to 99 (أحد عشر ريالاً) and genitive singular for 100 and above (مائة ريال). The tool follows these rules for each currency.
How are the decimals written?
As the small unit of the currency: baisa for the Omani Rial (3 decimals), halala for the Saudi Riyal, fils for the Dirham, the Kuwaiti and Bahraini Dinar, dirham for the Qatari Riyal and cent for the US Dollar. For example, OMR 20.500 is عشرون ريالاً عمانياً وخمسمائة بيسة.
How large an amount can I write?
Up to 999,999,999,999 (just under a trillion), with the decimals of the currency.
Should I still check the words?
Yes. Read the words before you sign a cheque or send an invoice. Some banks and companies prefer a slightly different style, which you can edit after copying.
