48 is built from a unit and a ten joined by the Arabic conjunction و. The default result is ثمانية وأربعون, which is the form most learners need when they ask how to write 48 in Arabic words.

In the standalone form, the unit normally appears before the tens part. Case can affect the tens ending, and noun gender can affect the unit in counted-noun phrases.

Do not reverse the order into a direct English-style tens-plus-unit phrase.
