7. To move on to our next topic of asking and telling
time, it is essential that we learn basic numbers in
Spanish and also how large numbers are derived
from basic ones!
What’s in store today?
9. To learn numbers in Spanish, you need to remember
few basic numbers and the rest can be
derived from them
Let us start by learning numbers from 0-10
Learning numbers
10. Number Spanish
0 Cero
1 Uno/a
2 Dos
3 Tres
4 Cuatro
5 Cinco
6 Seis
7 Siete
8 Ocho
9 Nueve
10 Diez
Basic numbers : 0-10
11. Uno (one) is shortened to ‘un’ when it immediately
precedes a masculine noun
It changes to 'una' before a feminine noun
Un and Una are used as indefinite articles
The indefinite articles ‘a/an’ have the masculine form
as ‘un’ and feminine form as ‘una’
Eg: Un perro – A (male) dog
Grammar note
16. Lets now look at numbers from 11-19
Notice the pattern from 16-19 carefully
Moving on...
17. Number Spanish Number Spanish
1 Uno/a 11 Once
2 Dos 12 Doce
3 Tres 13 Trece
4 Cuatro 14 Catorce
5 Cinco 15 Quince
6 Seis 16 Dieciséis
7 Siete 17 Diecisiete
8 Ocho 18 Dieciocho
9 Nueve 19 Diecinueve
Basic numbers – 11-19
18. 6 = Seis
16 = Dieciséis
7 = Siete
17 = Diecisiete
There is a similar pattern for 18 (Dieci+ocho) and
19 as well (Dieci+nueve)
Notice that in 16, there is an additional accent mark
on the 'e' in 'séis'
Did you notice?
25. 20 = Veinte
To form numbers from 21 onwards, we use the pattern:
Veinti + unit's number in Spanish (eg: 1, 2, 5)
Example:
21 = Veinti + uno = Veintiuno
22 = Veinti + dos = Veintidós
23 = Veinti + tres = Veintitrés
Basic numbers – 20-29
26. For numbers ending in 2 (dos), 3 (tres) and
6 (seis); an additional accent mark is added
while combining them to form numbers
from 21-29
Example:
2 = dos; 22 = Veintidós
3 = tres; 23 = Veintitrés
6 = seis; 26 = Veintiséis
Accent marks
27. Number Spanish Number Spanish
20 Veinte
1 Uno/a 21 Veintiuno/a
2 Dos 22 Veintidós
3 Tres 23 Veintitrés
4 Cuatro 24 Veinticuatro
5 Cinco 25 Veinticinco
6 Seis 26 Veintiséis
7 Siete 27 Veintisiete
8 Ocho 28 Veintiocho
9 Nueve 29 Veintinueve
Basic numbers – 20-29
36. Forming numbers from 30-99 is
very simple
The pattern is:
Spanish for tens (eg: 30, 40) + y (and) +
Spanish for units place (eg: 1, 2, 6)
Literally, 31 = Thirty and one
Moving on...
37. Since we already know all numbers at units
place (like 1, 2, 4, 6 etc.), lets look at
numbers at tens place (30, 40, 50 etc)
Basic numbers - 30-99
38. Basic numbers - 30-99
Did you see the pattern with the '-ty'
numbers? From thirty to ninety,
they all end -NTA
Number Spanish
30 Treinta
40 Cuarenta
50 Cincuenta
60 Sesenta
70 Setenta
80 Ochenta
90 Noventa
39. The pattern is:
Spanish for tens (30) + y (and) + Spanish
for units place (1)
31 = Thirty and one = Treinta y uno
Saying 31
43. Number Spanish Number Spanish
1 Uno/a 31 Treinta y uno
2 Dos 42 Cuarenta y dos
3 Tres 53 Cincuenta y tres
4 Cuatro 64 Sesenta y cuatro
5 Cinco 75 Setenta y cinco
6 Seis 86 Ochenta y seis
7 Siete 97 Noventa y siete
8 Ocho 98 Noventa y ocho
9 Nueve 99 Noventa y nueve
