The tens have specific names from ten to thirty, then they are formed by setting the multiplier digit before the word for ten: уон [10], сүүрбэ [20], отут [30], түөрт уон [40], биэс уон [50], алта уон [60], сэттэ уон [70], аҕыс уон [80], and тоҕус уон [90].

Compound numbers up to ninety-nine are built by spelling out the ten, then the digit (e.g.: отут икки [32], сэттэ уон биир [71]).

Hundreds are formed by stating the multiplier digit, then the word for hundred (сүүс), except for one hundred itself: сүүс [100], икки сүүс [200], үс сүүс [300], түөрт сүүс [400], биэс сүүс [500], алта сүүс [600], сэттэ сүүс [700], аҕыс сүүс [800], and тоҕус сүүс [900].

Thousands are formed by stating the multiplier digit, then the word for thousand (тыһынча), except for one thousand itself: тыһынча [1,000], икки тыһынча [2,000], үс тыһынча [3,000], түөрт тыһынча [4,000], биэс тыһынча [5,000], алта тыһынча [6,000], сэттэ тыһынча [7,000], аҕыс тыһынча [8,000], and тоҕус тыһынча [9,000].

Yakut language uses the short scale for big numbers, where every new word greater than a million is one thousand times bigger than the previous term. Thus, we get мөлүйүөн (million, or 10⁶), мыйыллыйаар (10⁹, equivalent to the US billion), and туруллуйуон (10¹², equivalent to the US trillion).
