The numbers in Spanish are easy to learn for a couple of good reasons;

Spanish, in common with most languages, has Cardinal and Ordinal numbers. The first describe quantity, i.e. one, two, three etc. and the second describe order, such as first, second, third etc.

Here we will deal with Spanish Cardinal Numbers.

Diecinueve 20. Veinte 21. Veintiuno 22. Veintidós 23. Veintitrés 24. Veinticuatro 25. Veinticinco 26. Veintiséis 27. Veintisiete 28. Veintiocho

29. Veintinueve 30. Treinta 31. Treinta y uno 32. Treinta y dos 40. Cuarenta 41. Cuarenta y uno 42. Cuarenta y dos 50. Cincuenta 50. Cincuentsa y uno 52. Cincuenta y dos 60. Sesenta 61. sesenta y uno 62. Sesenta y dos 70. Setenta 71. Setenta y uno 72. Setenta y dos 80. Ochenta 81. Ochenta y uno 82. Ochenta y dos 90. Noventa 91. Noventa y uno 92. Noventa y dos 99. Noventa y nueve

The main things to note here are that numbers ending in one have to follow the gender of the following noun, in other words if the noun is masculine, such as apartamento, uno shortens to un, e.g. un apartamento- one apartment and , veintiuno shortens to veintiún (the accent is added to preserve the emphasis on the u); if the noun is feminine uno becomes una, e.g. una niña, one girl.

Spanish numbers from 100 to 999

100. Cien

101. Ceinto uno

102. Ceinto dos

103. Ceinto tres

500. Quinientos

600. Seiscientos

700. Setecientos

800. Ochocientos

900. Novecientos

999. Novecientos noventa y nueve

As before the ending of the 100s agrees with the gender of following noun, for example doscientos becomes doscientas.

Spanish Numbers 1000 and above

1000. Mil

2000. Dos mil

3000. Tres mil

4.578 cuatro mil quinientos setenta y ocho

10000. Diez mil

100000. Cien mil

1000000. Un millón

2000000. Dos millones

Note that in Spanish it is normal to use a comma to denote a decimal number and and a full stop to mark thousands. Therefore 1,5 denotes one point five or one and a hal, and 1.000 denotes one thousand.

Practice counting from 1 to 10 and 10 back down to 1, then from 11 to 20 and down again and this will help you to quickly pick up your Spanish numbers. When in Spain listen to the numbers spoken to you when paying in shops, bars and garages and you will soon tune into their sounds and be able to repeat them with confidence.
