Numbers in Spanish

When learning a language, one of the most important things to quickly get a grasp of is the numbers. After all, from paying for a train ticket to settling the bill in a hotel or buying something at a local market, if you don't know your numbers then you're probably going to struggle. Thankfully, once you've got the hang of how they're pronounced, learning the numbers in Spanish is really quite simple as they follow a pretty regular format. Here's a quick run-down - with a basic pronunciation aid - to help get you started.

Zero (thero): zero/nought Un/uno (oo-no): one Dos (dos): two Tres (tres): three Cuatro (kwat-ro): four Cinco (theen-ko): five Seis (seys): six Siete (syet-ay): seven Ocho (o-cho): eight Nueve (nwe-bay): nine Diez (dyeth): ten Then the numbers continue into the teens: Once (on-thay): eleven Doce (doth-ay): twelve Trece (treth-ay): thirteen Catorce (kat-or-thay): fourteen Quince (keen-thay): fifteen Diez y seis (dyeth-ee-seys): sixteen Diez y siete (dyeth-ee-syet-ay): seventeen Diez y ocho (dyeth-ee-o-cho): eighteen Diez y nueve (dyeth-ee-nwe-bay): nineteen Veinte (bayn-tay): twenty

From here, the first nine numbers are added to the end of twenty, as follows:

Vientiuno (beyn-tay-oo-no): twenty-one
Vientidós (beyn-tay-dos): twenty-two
Vientitres (beyn-tay-tres): twenty-three
Vienticuatro (beyn-tay-kwat-ro): twenty-four
Vienticinco (beyn-tay-theen-ko): twenty-five
Vientiseis (beyn-tay-seys): twenty-six
Vientisiete (beyn-tay-syet-ay): twenty-seven
Vientiocho (beyn-tay-o-cho): twenty-eight
Vientinueve (beyn-tay-nwe-bay): twenty-nine

After that, the numbers in Spanish follow the same basic pattern for thirty, forty etc.

Treinta (treyn-ta): thirty
Cuarenta (kwa-ren-ta): forty
Cincuenta (theen-kwen-ta): fifty
Sesenta (se-sen-ta): sixty
Setenta (se-ten-ta): seventy
Ochenta (o-chen-ta): eighty
Noventa (no-ben-ta): ninety
Cien (thyehn): one hundred
