We use numbers all the time in our day to day lives when telling the time, talking about the cost of an item, reading an address or a in any myriad of other scenarios! It’s time you learn to use numbers in Spanish!
Learning numbers in Spanish is like building a tower. Let’s start with our base:
|
Even though it is rare to spell out a number in written form, this will help you with saying them aloud which is done all the time!
|
- 0-Cero
- 1-Uno
- 2-Dos
- 3-Tres
- 4-Cuatro
- 5-Cinco
- 6-Seis
- 7-Siete
- 8-Ocho
- 9-Nueve
- 10-Diez
- 11-Once
- 12-Doce
- 13-Trece
- 14-Catorce
- 15-Quince
Now, we will add a bit more to our numbers for 16-20. These will all start with the prefix “
dieci”.
- 16-Dieciséis
- 17-Diecisiete
- 18-Dieciocho
- 19-Diecinueve
Time for the next set! The 20’s will all start with a prefix as well but it will change to “
veinti”.
- 20-Veinte
- 21-Veintiuno
- 22-Veintidós
- 23-Veintitrés
- 24-Veinticuatro
- 25-Veinticinco
- 26-Veintiséis
- 27-Veintisiete
- 28-Veintiocho
- 29-Veintinueve
Alright, for the next numbers 30-99 we will follow this formula:
10’s place + “y” + ones place
For example: 31- treinta y uno
30-Teinta
40- cuarenta
50- cincuenta
60- sesenta
70- setenta
80- ochenta
90- noventa
Now for the 100’s place!
We’re going to use the word “ciento” and then add the next number afterward.
100- cien
101- ciento uno
102- ciento dos
103- ciento tres
Continued…
We will do this for the rest of the 100’s. Here are the other hundred's places:
200- doscientos
300- trescientos
400- cuatrocientos
500- quinientos
600- seiscientos
700- setecientos
800- ochocientos
900- novecientos
*1000- mil
