Spanish Numbers

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
