Numbers 11-19
The teen numbers are one of the more difficult number ranges to learn because the pattern breaks midway.
- 11= once
- 12=doce
- 13=trece
- 14=catorce
- 15=quince
All the numbers above end in CE. If you are musical, you will appreciate the music this creates! Just listen to the Spanish numbers audio file below
You can see the root numbers in this series. Dos=doce tres=trece even cuatro is similar to catorce. After quince, there is a new pattern:
- 16=diecisèis
- 17=diecisiete
- 18=dieciocho
- 19=diecinueve
This pattern uses Diez and then the root number so it´s almost like adding 10 y 6= diez y seis but you spell it diecisèis. This is another example of why numbers 0-10 are the most important to master. They will be used to create the bigger numbers later so if you know them well it will be much easier to learn the bigger numbers.
Numbers 20-29
- 20=veinte
- 21=veintiuno
- 22=veintidòs
- 23=veintitrès
- 24=veinticuatro
- 25=veinticinco
- 26=veintisèis
- 27=veintisiete
- 28=veintiocho
- 29=veintinueve
This number range is more stable than the teen numbers. Every single one starts with VEINTI (except for Veinte) after that its back to the root numbers uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco…. So it´s like your adding again 20 y 1 — 20 y 2 but you spell it veintiuno, veintidòs…..What´s unique about this number range is the spelling of the numbers not the patter as you will see with 30-100.
Numbers 30-90
- 30=treinta
- 40=cuarenta
- 50=cincuenta
- 60=sesenta
- 70=setenta
- 80=ochenta
- 90=noventa
Numbers 30-99 are easier because the pattern will not break! So you will just add Y uno, y dos, y tres to all of them.
For Example:
- 31= treinta y uno
- 32=treinta y dos
- 33=treinta y tres
- 34=treinta y cuatro
- 35=treinta y cinco
- 36=treinta y seis
- 37=treinta y siete
- 38=treinta y ocho
- 39=treinta y nueve
Numbers 30-99 will be exactly as above. You just add Y + any number 1-9 and you’re done! 🙂 You will spell them out as seen above 3 separate words unlike 11-15 & 20-29 that were all one word.
