The English phrase "numbers" is translated into Gujarati as સંખ્યાઓ (sankhyao).
The term સંખ્યાઓ refers to symbols or words used to count or represent a quantity. In Gujarati, you can use number words to count objects, such as in the phrases ત્રણ મિત્રો (three friends) or પાંચ પેન્સિલ (five pencils). Additionally, numbers can be used to denote order, such as પ્રથમ (first), દ્વિતીય (second) and તૃતીય (third).

- The word સંખ્યા is also a central term in Samkhya philosophy, one of the oldest schools of Indian thought, where it refers to the 'enumeration' of the elements of existence.
- Gujarati has a unique way of grouping numbers in the Indian numbering system, using 'lakh' (100,000) and 'crore' (10,000,000) instead of millions and billions.
