1 – 100 Spanish Numbers

If you want to say the word for “20” in Spanish, you would say, “veinticinco.” It’s part of a sequence you may already know: veinticinco (25), cincuenta (50), setenta y cinco (75), cien (100).

Learn the numbers from zero to one hundred in Spanish….

The other numbers are joined by a hyphen, like in English. Twenty-two is vingt-deux, thirty-four is trente-quatre, and sixty-seven is soixante-sept….Numbers in French: 21-69.

When talking about “one hundred” or “one thousand” in French, we don’t say the “one”, we only say “cent” and “mille”. However when talking about “one million”, “one billion” we do say the one: “un million, un milliard”.

The Oxford English Dictionary says: O n. (also oh) zero (in a sequence of numerals, especially when spoken). Zero is a little bit longer to pronounce, hence the “oh”.

British English: thirteen /ˈθɜːˈtiːn/ NUMBER. Thirteen is the number 13. She is thirteen years old.

deux

Notice that unlike English, all nouns (words for things and people) in French are masculine or feminine. Use Un with masculine nouns. Use Une with feminine nouns. Note that un, une also mean one: une maison means a house and one house.

Talking about French numbers 0 to 100

• zéro. zero.
• un. one.
• deux. two.
• trois. three.
• quatre. four.
• cinq. five.
• six. six.
• sept. seven.

In French too, we see this, up until the seventies when, as we’ve said, things go weird. Then in comes the “vigesimal system” which used the base 20, hence quatre-vingt-quatre (84). This is supposedly as they used their feet as well as their hands to count. Fingers and toes included, you get twenty.

Un, deux, trois, c’est parti (one, two, three, here we go)!…

1. Un.
2. Deux.
3. Trois.
4. Quatre.
5. Cinq.
6. Six.
7. Sept.
8. Huit.

Eight (8) is 八 (hachi, pronounced “hah-chee”). Nine (9) is 九 (kyuu, pronounced “kyoo”).

Here are the Spanish numbers:

1. 1 – uno.
2. 2 – dos.
3. 3 – tres.
4. 4 – cuatro.
5. 5 – cinco.
6. 6 – seis.
7. 7 – siete.
8. 8 – ocho.

When reading a number out loud many English speakers will say o (pronounced owe) as in the letter O when meaning the digit zero. So: “room 702” is often said “Room Seven O(we) Two” while “Seven Zero Two” is also used. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard someone say “Seven Nought Two”.

Yes, ten numbers, without using the number 10. In English 10, 20, 30, through to 90 are 1 ten, 2 tens, 3 tens, etc. Also there are a number of ways you can say 0 in English….Try writing the numbers zero ( 0 ) through nine ( 9 ).

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.

trente tront

Ninety-nine translates to ‘four-twenty-ten-nine’ or quatre-vingt-dix-neuf.

In French, soixante (60) is the last iteration of ten to have its own word. Going higher, such as seventy is soixant dix (60-10), eighty is quatre vingt (4-20), 90 is quatre vingt dix (4-20-10).

quatre-vingts

Here are the French Numbers 91-100….French Numbers 91-100.

The French language uses 20 as a base for counting between 70 and 100; hence 80 is quatre-vingts (“four-twenties”). Paris has 20 arrondissements, or boroughs. The capital’s annual running race is the 20 Kilomètres de Paris. There is a free newspaper called “20 minutes”.
