Reading decimals (momayyez)

The Decimal Point (ممیز)

In Farsi, the decimal separator is ممیز. To read a decimal fraction, simply state the whole number, say ممیز, and then read the fractional part.

This pattern applies directly to precise laboratory measurements and scientific units, like milligrams (میلی‌گرم) and milliliters (میلی‌لیتر).

For larger numbers, the pattern remains exactly the same: state the entire whole number before adding ممیز and the decimal digits.
