Spanish Numbers
Here is the complete list of numbers from 1 to 100, translated into Spanish, in their "canonical" form (singular masculine noun). 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. Learning numbers in Spanish will open up a lot of communication.
Learning Spanish numbers 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. This prefix is a combination of the word for "ten" (diez) and a version of the word for "and" (y).
- 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. This prefix is a combination of the word for "twenty" (veinte) and a version of the word for "and" (y).
- 20 - veinte
- 21 - veintiuno
- 22 - veintidós
- 23 - veintitrés
- 24 - veinticuatro
- 25 - veinticinco
- 26 - veintiséis
- 27 - veintisiete
- 28 - veintiocho
- 29 - veintinueve
Then the pattern changes and the numbers are all three words each: 10’s place + “y” + ones place
For example: 31- treinta y uno
30 - treinta
31 - treinta y uno
32 - treinta y dos
33 - treinta y tres
34 - treinta y cuatro
35 - treinta y cinco
and so on...
40 - cuarenta
41 - cuarenta y uno
42 - cuarenta y dos
43 - cuarenta y tres
44 - cuarenta y cuatro
45 - cuarenta y cinco
and son on...
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
104 - ciento cuatro
and so on...
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
