You will see examples of this in the next section, so don’t stress if you don’t get it yet! Basically, 100 by itself is cien, and when you count past 100 people use ciento instead.
The word for 100 has two words in Spanish cien and ciento. Over time, the components diez y seis just got squished together to form one word, and this was applied to the numbers 16 to 29 (sometimes languages like Spanish like to squish words together to make them look more like they sound). See the pattern? This means once you have mastered the Spanish number 1-10, and twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, and ninety, you can say any number all the way up to 99! Here is a chart with all of the 2 digit numbers ending with zero.įor numbers 16 to 29, you will often see a “modern” version written out as one word instead of three, as seen in dieciseis instead of diez y seis for sixteen, and veintiocho instead of veinte y ocho for twenty eight. 27 – veinte y siete ( twenty and seven).When we get to 16 and beyond, all we do is take the tens place and add the ones place. This is where we begin to see a pattern with numbers. They will come up in the next section quite a lot! Study them carefully, especially numbers 1 to 9. Each number is unique and is written as one short word. The numbers 0-100 are the building blocks to all larger numbers and are used to express common things like a person’s age, the time, the date, and how many beers you want.
