Table notes:

1. The numeral 1 has masculine and feminine forms, as well as singular and plural: uno, una, unos, unas:

una actriz - one actress
unos estudiantes - some students / some students
unas enfermeras - some nurses / some nurses

2. The numeral 1 takes the form uno only for independent use:

¿Cuantas manzanas tienes? – Uno.
How many apples do you have? - One.

3. Before masculine nouns, the numeral 1 takes the form un:

un estudiante - one student

4. Numerals 16, 22, 23, 26 are written with a graphic accent:

dieciseis - sixteen

5. Numerals from 21 to 29 are written together:

veintidós alumnos - twenty-two students

6. If a compound number ends in 1 (21, 31, 41, etc.), then the noun following it, unlike the Russian language, is in the plural form:

veintiún casas - twenty-one houses

7. Numerals 31, 32, 41, 42, etc. are written in three words:

treinta y uno - thirty one (literally thirty and one)
cuarenta y dos - forty-two (literally forty and two)

8. Union y placed only between tens and ones:

mil novecientos noventa y tres - one thousand nine hundred ninety-three

9. The numeral 100, if it comes directly before a noun or adjective, takes the form cien. And it does not depend on the gender of the noun:

cien amigos - one hundred friends
cien amigas - a hundred girlfriends
cien magníficas películas - one hundred great films

10. But if we need to pronounce a number, for example, 102, then the numeral 100 is used in its basic form - ciento, since there is an additional word (two) before the noun:

ciento dos fotos - one hundred and two photographs

11. If the numeral 100 is used in the plural, then it is followed by a preposition de:

cientos de paginas - hundreds of pages

12. Numerals from 200 to 900 have masculine and feminine forms:

doscientos libros - two hundred books
doscientas revistas - two hundred magazines

13. The numerals 100, 1000, 100.000 have plural forms only if they are used in the meaning of nouns. At the same time, a preposition is placed between the noun that they define and the numeral de:

miles de paginas - thousands of pages.

14. The number 1000 is never preceded by an article:

mil horas - a thousand hours

15. If the numeral 1000 is used in the plural, then after it comes the preposition de:

miles de cosas - thousands of things

16. The numeral 1.000.000 is always preceded by the truncated form of the numeral 1 ( un) or any other number. In this case, the noun is used without the article and after the preposition de:

un mil de habitantes - one million inhabitants

17. There is no number billion in Spanish. To convey it, a combination is used mil millones de:

mil millones de años - a billion years

18. The digits of numerals are separated by dots or spaces:

17.000.000 or 17 000 000

Articles with numerals

In most phrases, articles are not needed before numerals - when we talk about shopping or counting something.

Consider the cases of mandatory use of articles.

1. When indicating time:

es la una - hour
son las cinco - five o'clock

2. If we call a date:

el cinco de mayo - fifth of May

Please note that the ordinal number is used in the name of the first day of each month:
el primero de enero - the first of January

3. If we use collective numbers - two, three .... It is not necessary to use a noun after a numeral.

los dos ya llegaron - two have already arrived
los dos chicos ya llegaron - two have already arrived

4. When naming the numbers themselves:

un dos pintado en la puerta - a deuce painted on the door

5. When mentioning age:

A los cinco años Mozart ya componía obras musicales. Mozart was already composing pieces of music at the age of five.

Try to remember the numerals and reread the comments several times so as not to get confused in the use of these words. Indeed, without numerals, it is impossible to go shopping, or ask the time, or even exchange phone numbers, right?

In order to maintain a dialogue with a new acquaintance, we need two more question words - cuál and cuánto.

Interrogative word cual

It has two forms in Spanish, singular and plural.

Depending on the context, it can be translated as Which or which:

¿Cuál es tu número de telefono? – Es el 946 538 515.
What is your telephone number? - 946-538-599.

Phone numbers are usually read by numbers: 9 4 6, etc. An exception is made for numerals from 11 to 19.

In colloquial speech, the article and the verb are omitted and the answer to this question can be heard simply: 946 538 515. But you and I are learning how to speak. How you use it is another question.

When talking about phone numbers, remember two more words:

fijo - urban
móvil - mobile

¿Cuál es tu numero de telefono fijo?

See what other questions you can use the words cuál and cuales?

– Es el 18 de noviembre de 1993.
When were you born (born)? - November 18, 1993.

It should be noted that another question is much more often used:

¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños? - When's your birthday?

But the answer does not mention the year.

¿Cuál es tu dirección de correo electrónico? – What is your email address?
¿Tienes pagina web? ¿Cual es su dirección? - Do you have a page on the Internet? What is her address?
¿Cual es tu casa, la verde o la amarilla? Which house is yours, green or yellow?
¿Cuales son tus preguntas? – What are your questions?

Interrogative word cuánto

question word cuá to- when in Spanish, unlike Russian, it is used in four forms, depending on the gender and number of the noun following it.

How many:

In parallel with this word, learn the four forms of the words a lot and a little.

A lot of:

Few:

¿Cuánto dinero tienes? – Tengo mucho dinero.
How much money do you have? - I have a lot of money.

In Spanish the word money- masculine, singular.

¿Cuánta hambre tienes? – Tengo mucha hambre.
Are you hungry (hungry)? - Yes, I am very hungry (hungry).

The literal translation is: How hungry are you? - I have a lot of hunger.

The word hunger in Spanish is feminine, singular.

¿Cuántos años tienes? – Tengo veintidos anos.
How old are you? - I am 23 years old.

Literally: How old are you? – I have 23 years.

¿Cuantas revistas tienes? – Tengo cinco revistas.
How many magazines do you have? - I have five magazines.

In spanish words hermanos, amigos, hijos can be translated as brothers, friends, children but at the same time how brothers and sisters, friends and girlfriends, sons and daughters.

Therefore, the same question can be answered in different ways:

¿Cuantos hermanos tienes?
- Tengo tres hermanos.
- Tengo un hermano y dos hermanas.
– No tengo hermanos.
– No tengo hermanas ni hermanas.

Pay attention to the design no … ni …, which translates as no no… - I have no brothers or sisters.

¿Cuánto cuesta un litro de leche en Moscú? – Sesenta y cuatro rublos.
How much does a liter of milk cost in Moscow? - 64 rubles.

¿Cuánto cuestan los zapatos ecco? Tres mil quinientos rublos.

When learning any foreign language, they start with elementary foundations and numbers - one of those basic foundations that beginners should not miss. We are confronted with the score all the time. If you know the numbers in Spanish, then you will be able to understand what is being said in the store, asking the price of the goods, buying a ticket at the box office, you will be able to figure out its cost, as well as the time of departure of the train or plane, listening to the news in Spanish, you will be able to understand correctly numbers and dates.
One of the first skills that we acquire in childhood, mastering our native language, is the ability to count. Every day we use numbers and numbers in communication, so numerals are an integral and very important part of our daily life. If you want to communicate successfully in Spanish, learn to count to at least ten. In this article, you will get acquainted with Spanish numerals. We hope that you will be able to learn them, especially since this process is simple and interesting.
In Spanish, as in Russian, numerals are divided into quantitative and ordinal. Quantitative numbers indicate the amount of something and answer the question - how much? (one two Three…). Ordinal numbers indicate the place of an object in a certain queue and answer the question - which one? (first second Third…).
The formation of quantitative numbers does not cause difficulties, you just need to remember some features:
1. The names of the numbers from 0 to 15, as well as one hundred, one million, one thousand and a billion have an individual name, so they must be remembered, since it is on their basis that all other cardinal numbers in Spanish are formed.
2. Numerals from 16 to 19 are written in one word and are formed according to the following scheme:

diec + i + …(number)

dieciseis, diecinueve

3. Numerals from 21 to 29 are also written in one word and are formed according to the following scheme:

veint + i + …(number)

veintitres, veinticinco

4. Numerals from 31 to 99, as in Russian, are divided into tens and units. Starting from 31, numerals are formed from three words with the union y between tens and ones:

treinta + y + cuatro

Between thousands, hundreds and tens of union y not used for linking:

one thousand five hundred and forty eight

For those who do not know how Spanish numbers are pronounced, below is an approximate sound of the names of the numbers in Russian transcription. However, in order to correctly pronounce Spanish numbers and not distort their names with a strong Russian accent, you should become more familiar with Spanish phonetics. For example, you can listen to an audio recording of how a native speaker pronounces numbers, try to remember the correct pronunciation and repeat the same pronunciation yourself.
Before you is a table with Spanish numbers. In the first column - numbers, in the second - their Spanish names, in the third - Russian transcription of their names.

Ordinals.

first - primero
the second is segundo
third - tercero
fourth - cuarto
fifth - quinto
sixth - sexto
seventh - septimo
eighth - octavo
ninth - noveno
tenth - decimo

After the first ten, the Spaniards usually do not use ordinal numbers, but cardinal numbers. Before a singular masculine noun, the numerals primero and tercero lose their ending: el primer lugar, el tercer piso.

You searched for: spanish numbers, spanish numbers, spanish numbers, spanish numbers, spanish numbers with pronunciation, spanish numbers pronunciation, spanish numbers with translation.

Numerales cardinales, Palabras interrogativas cuál, cuánto

In lesson 9, we met with unchangeable question words, such as qué , quié n, có mo, dó nde and others.

Today we will talk about changing question words. These are the words which cuá l and how many cuá to.

Spanish Number Dictionary words

Twenty - Veinte - 20 Thirty Treint - 30 Forty - Cuarenta - 40 Fifty - Sinchuenta - 50 Sixty - Sensation - 60 Seventy - Setenta - 70 Eighty - Ohenta - 80 Ninti - Noventa - 90. The system was adopted by the Arabs at the earliest time. The first attempts to write were made long before the development of spoken language, so the first attempts at graphical representation of numbers came when people began to count and perform numerical operations. As primitive man, they had no units of measure - no currency, trade or pricing system.

But first, let's learn Spanish numerals, since the question of quantity cannot be answered without them. Words with an asterisk next to them need comments. See them after the table.

Table notes:

Primitive forms of Spanish numbers that we use today in Spain

Written numbers appeared much later than the graphic language. Each system went as far as was necessary for the needs of the people who used it. Naturally, the idea of ​​a wildcard had to happen as early traders developed a habit of counting that made the required numbers above 10: this was the case with Egypt and Babylon. As soon as the idea was proposed, probably with the help of fingers, symbols were invented for smaller units.

1. The numeral 1 has masculine and feminine forms, as well as singular and plural: uno, una, unos, unas:

una actriz - one actress
unos estudiantes - some students / some students
unas enfermeras - some nurses / some nurses

2. The numeral 1 takes the form uno only for independent use:

¿Cuantas manzanas tienes? – Uno.
How many apples do you have? - One.

The lack of stone around Babylon caused the inhabitants of the region to carve their symbols into clay tablets, which are then exposed to sunlight to bake. They managed to create historical documents that were as permanent as stone.

The first specific reference to Hindu numbers was found in a note written by Bishop Severo Sebokht, who lived in Mesopotamia around 650; as mentioned nine signs, so it is logical to assume that he did not know zero. People believe that some Indian astronomical tables were translated into Arabic in Baghdad towards the end of the eighth century. The figures mentioned certainly attracted the attention of Arab scholars at this time.

3. Before masculine nouns, the numeral 1 takes the form un:

un estudiante - one student

4. Numerals 16, 22, 23, 26 are written with a graphic accent:

dieciseis - sixteen

5. Numerals from 21 to 29 are written together:

veintidós alumnos - twenty-two students

6. If a compound number ends in 1 (21, 31, 41, etc.), then the noun following it, unlike the Russian language, is in the plural form:

veintiún casas - twenty-one houses

Although there is reason to believe that the actual figures were known in Europe earlier than in Baghdad, this is not clearly proven, and the truth is that the first manuscript that contains them was written in Spain this year. Therefore, it is more likely that we assume, like most experts, the number of Hindus, the origin of our present system. They were brought to Europe by the Arabs who introduced them to Spain. Few people claim that they were also level zero inventors, as we use today for our arithmetic.

7. Numerals 31, 32, 41, 42, etc. are written in three words:

treinta y uno - thirty one (literally thirty and one)
cuarenta y dos - forty-two (literally forty and two)

8. Union y placed only between tens and ones:

mil novecientos noventa y tres - one thousand nine hundred ninety-three

9. The numeral 100, if it comes directly before a noun or adjective, takes the form cien. And it does not depend on the gender of the noun:

cien amigos - one hundred friends
cien amigas - a hundred girlfriends
cien magníficas películas - one hundred great films

Tasks for the lesson

What no one doubts is that the Arabs popularized their use throughout Asia and Europe. Hence its name: Arabic numerals. Some Arab mathematicians have made significant progress in number theory. Fibonacci, the 13th century Italian mathematician, is said to have been the main promoter of Arabic or Hindu numbers in Europe.

Learning to count is one of the first things people learn in any language, be it their first, third, or twentieth, which suggests it's important. And, of course, knowing how to say numbers helps in many basic situations.

You need to know the numbers in order to buy things, unless you rely on a universal system of pointing, nodding and smiling. However, this usually results in you having no idea how much you are paying for anything. You also need to know the numbers in order to talk about some of the other basic stuff you learned in the beginner Spanish class, like your age, your address and phone number.

Phone numbers are usually read by numbers: 9 4 6, etc. An exception is made for numerals from 11 to 19.

In colloquial speech, the article and the verb are omitted and the answer to this question can be heard simply: 946 538 515. But you and I are learning how to speak. How you use it is another question.

When talking about phone numbers, remember two more words:

Numbers also tend to appear in places you don't expect. The number of buses, such as the train platform or your place in line. Just trust us, you definitely need to use your numbers correctly. And while you might think Spanish counting is easy, there are a few tricky rules you need to keep your head down if you want to avoid mistakes.

Let's start counting in Spanish!

Now that you understand the importance of these number-oriented Spanish lessons, I have all the information you need to start learning Spanish numbers and scoring systems. Of course, we'll start with the basics.

Basic numbers in Spanish: 1-20

Let's start from the beginning and look forward to vein in Spanish.

fijo - urban
móvil - mobile

¿Cuál es tu numero de telefono fijo?

See what other questions you can use the words cuál and cuales?

It should be noted that another question is much more often used:

¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños? - When's your birthday?

But the answer does not mention the year.

If you don't know how to pronounce these numbers, this video sums it up quite nicely. First, you simply write out the base number. This also helps us in the next section. Since you know the pattern for these two digit numbers, all you need is a dictionary for large base numbers. You will then assemble everything in between following this pattern.

Other numbers you may need. So 33 is tretin. These are not third parties. This is one that keeps confusing people even at an advanced level, so it's worth repeating over and over again until you get it. Once you practice this again and again, try counting yourself to sleep every night in Spanish by counting your steps as you walk down the street in the shortest 100 or watch this video and enjoy its funky music, you are ready to move in big numbers.

¿Cuál es tu dirección de correo electrónico? – What is your email address?
¿Tienes pagina web? ¿Cual es su dirección? - Do you have a page on the Internet? What is her address?
¿Cual es tu casa, la verde o la amarilla? Which house is yours, green or yellow?
¿Cuales son tus preguntas? – What are your questions?

Interrogative word cuánto

question word cuá to- when in Spanish, unlike Russian, it is used in four forms, depending on the gender and number of the noun following it.

How many:

In parallel with this word, learn the four forms of the words a lot and a little.

A lot of:

Few:

¿Cuánto dinero tienes? – Tengo mucho dinero.
How much money do you have? - I have a lot of money.

In Spanish the word money- masculine, singular.

¿Cuánta hambre tienes? – Tengo mucha hambre.
Are you hungry (hungry)? - Yes, I am very hungry (hungry).

The literal translation is: How hungry are you? - I have a lot of hunger.

The word hunger in Spanish is feminine, singular.

¿Cuántos años tienes? – Tengo veintidos anos.
How old are you? - I am 23 years old.

Literally: How old are you? – I have 23 years.

¿Cuantas revistas tienes? – Tengo cinco revistas.
How many magazines do you have? - I have five magazines.

In spanish words hermanos, amigos, hijos can be translated as brothers, friends, children but at the same time how brothers and sisters, friends and girlfriends, sons and daughters.

Therefore, the same question can be answered in different ways:

¿Cuantos hermanos tienes?
- Tengo tres hermanos.
- Tengo un hermano y dos hermanas.
– No tengo hermanos.
– No tengo hermanas ni hermanas.

Pay attention to the design no … ni …, which translates as no no… - I have no brothers or sisters.

¿Cuánto cuesta un litro de leche en Moscú? – Sesenta y cuatro rublos.
How much does a liter of milk cost in Moscow? - 64 rubles.

¿Cuánto cuestan los zapatos ecco? Tres mil quinientos rublos.
How much are ecco shoes? - 3500 rubles.

Mastering a native or foreign language, one of the first skills that we acquire is the ability to count. Numerals and numbers are used daily in communication, so numerals are an important part of speech. For successful and fluent communication in Spanish, it is necessary to master the Spanish numerals well. In this article, we will introduce Spanish numerals, Spanish numbers, Spanish counting, as well as examples of usage and pronunciation.

numbers in spanish

• Cero - zero
• Uno - one
• Dos - two
• Tres - three
• Cuatro - four
• Cinco - five
• Seis - six
• Siete - seven
• Ocho - eight
• Nueve - nine

Numbers in Spanish

Spanish numerals are:

• Cardinal numbers (indicate quantity)
• Ordinal numbers (indicate sequence or order)
• Fractions
• Collective numbers

Cardinal numbers or numbers in Spanish

45 cuarenta and cinco

59 cincuenta y nueve

255 doscientos cincuenta y cinco

400 cuatrocientos

1000000 un millón

1000000000 mil millones

1000000000000 un billón.

Notes:

• All cardinal numbers are masculine (el cero el cinco)
  uno becomes un when used before a masculine noun (un elefante, BUT cuarenta y un elefantes).
• Ciento drops the -to before nouns and before mil and million (cien teléfonos, cien mil euros)
  ciento is used in numbers 101-108 and numbers with percentages (ciento cuatro policías, el cuatro por ciento, cientos de problemas).

• In numbers from 200 to 999, hundreds agree in gender with the noun they refer to (trescientos libros, ochocientos pájaros).
• Mil as a numeral does not change (dos mil manifestantes) BUT (miles de manifestantes)
• Million is used with de before nouns. This only applies when million is directly attached to a noun. In other cases, million is used without the article (un millón de árboles, cuarenta millón de árboles, un millón quinientos mil árboles)
• Y (i in numbers from 16 to 19 and from 21 to 29) is used only between tens and ones. (dieciseis chicas, trenta y cinco chicos) BUT (trecientos veinte, cuatrocientos veinticinco)
• The phone number can be read: a) 5 40 81 22 (cinco cuarenta ochenta y uno veintidós) b) 530 82 43 (quinientos treinta ochenta y dos cuarenta y tres)

The use of cardinal numbers in Spanish

• The date is indicated by a cardinal numeral with the preposition de. (el veintiséis de junio) Only to indicate the first day of the month can be used both ordinal and cardinal numbers. (el quice de diciembre) The date is also attached with the preposition de. (el dieciséis de julio) The letters indicate: Santander, 4/ uno de enero de 1999.
• The age is indicated by a cardinal number (el siglo ventiuno)
• Year: The year is read like any other number (1492: mil cuatrocientos noventa y dos. 1889: mil ochocientos ochenta y nueve. 2017: dos mil diecisiete)
• The names of the rulers: starting with the "Eleventh", a quantitative numeral is used. Ordinal numbers are used in the designations from "First" to "Tenth". (Alfonso Doce) BUT (Carlos Quinto)
• Hour time, which is indicated by cardinal numbers, is used with the definite article. (Es la una, son las dos). In time indications up to half an hour, minutes, quarters and half hours are joined by the union y. (son las dos y cuarto, son las cinco y media) Starting from the 31st minute of the hour, minutes and quarters of the hour are subtracted from the next hour by means of menos. (Son las cinco menos veinte, son las ocho menis cuarto) “In / in” is indicated by the preposition a. (A la una, a las dos, sobre las diez). To accurately indicate the time of day until about 5 am, you can add de la madrugada then, de la mañana (morning), de la noche (evening; after dark). (Son las once en punto. Son las dos de la madrugada, son las seis de la mañana, son las tres de la tarde, son las diez de la noche) a las veintidos horas) Often used in Latin America (son las 11 p.m)
• Temperature indications are indicated by the preposition a and a quantitative numeral. (estamos a cuarenta grados, estamos a menos dos grados o a dos grados bajo cero)
• Age is denoted by the construction tener + cardinal number. (¿Cuántos años tienes? Tengo catorce.)

You know what? Together with you, we must learn to count in Spanish. Because it's necessary. Without this, it does not make sense to learn a foreign language at all. Because the score is in Spanish, and the numbers themselves are involved in any conversation in very large quantities. For example, you can talk about time, or quantity, or calculations and money, analytics, games, etc. And it will be very sad if you cannot understand what numbers your interlocutor is talking about.

How to count from 1 to 10 in Spanish or easy Spanish counting!

First of all, it's very easy and I highly recommend you watch our video where we showed you how to memorize the Spanish count from one to ten in a fun musical way. Here's a video:

For those who have a weak Internet and no way to watch the video, I post the bill here:

Spanish	Reads like	In Russian
Cero	[sero]	Zero
Uno	[uno]	One
Dos	[dos]	Two
Tres	[tres]	Three
Cuatro	[quatro]	Four
Cinco	[sinko]	Five
seis	[seis]	Six
Siete	[shiet]	Seven
Ocho	[ocho]	Eight
Nueve	[nueve]	Nine
Diez	[sharp]	Ten

It should be noted right away that the number "One" can change from "Uno" to "Un" - in the event that it is used before a masculine noun. Still think Spanish arithmetic is hard? Then look further and make sure that in fact it is easier than ever.
Another piece of news is that the number "One" can change from "Uno" to "Una" when used before a feminine noun.

When we count in Spanish (one, two, three, etc.), we should use "Uno", but when we want to say one cat or one car, we need to use "un" or "una" - depending on the male or feminine in Spanish.

How to count from 10 to 20 in Spanish? Simplify counting in Spanish.

Spanish	Reads like	In Russian
Diez	[sharp]	Ten
once	[onse]	Eleven
Doce	[dose]	Twelve
Trece	[trese]	Thirteen
Catorce	[katorse]	Fourteen
Quince	[kinse]	Fifteen
Dieciseis	[diesisase]	Sixteen
diecisiete	[diesisiete]	Seventeen
Dieciocho	[diesiocho]	Eighteen
Diecinueve	[diesinuewe]	Nineteen
Veinte	[beinte]	Twenty

Counting in Spanish from 20 to 30?

Spanish	Reads like	In Russian
Veinte	[beinte]	Twenty
Veintiuno	[beintiuno]	Twenty one
Veintidos	[beintidos]	Twenty two
Veintitles	[beintitres]	Twenty three
Veinticuatro	[beinticuatro]	Twenty four
Veinticinco	[beintisinco]	Twenty five
Veintiseis	[beintiseys]	Twenty six
Veintisiete	[beintisiete]	Twenty seven
Veintiocho	[beintiocho]	Twenty eight
Veintinueve	[beintinuewe]	Twenty nine
Treinta	[training]	Thirty

As you can see, a clear connection is used here, and all you need to do is remember the root of the word: Veinte [beinte] - twenty, then you just need to reproduce all the numbers from 1 to 10, and connect them to this root using separator "i" - Veintiuno [beint] + [and] + - twenty-one. Further with numbers in Spanish is even easier, you can easily count to one hundred

Spanish	Reads like	In Russian
Treinta	[training]	Thirty
Cuarenta	[quarenta]	Fourty
Cincuenta	[syncuent]	Fifty
Sesenta	[sesenta]	Sixty
Setenta	[setenta]	Seventy
Ochenta	[ochenta]	Eighty
noventa	[noventa]	Ninety
Сien	[shien]	One hundred

Why do you think I did not indicate here how to count for example from 30 to 39 in Spanish? Or 40 to 49? Everything is very simple, because there is a connection with the first ten, if you can count from 1 to 10, then it will not be difficult for you to count to a hundred. As you can see in our Spanish Counting lesson, here the main link is formed with the letter "Y" For example:

Spanish	Reads like	In Russian
Treinta y uno	[trainta and uno]	Thirty one
Cuarenta and dos	[cuarenta and dos]	Forty two
Cincuenta y tres	[sincuenta and tres]	Fifty three
Sesenta y cuatro	[sesenta and cuatro]	Sixty four
Setenta and cinco	[setenta and shinko]	Seventy five
Ochenta y seis	[ochenta and seis]	Eighty six
Noventa y siete	[noventa and siete]	Ninety seven
Сiento uno	[siento uno]	One hundred and one
The number one hundred is very simple and clear, add the ending "to" to the word Cien [sien] - one hundred, and then everything is exactly the same as from one to 99.
Ciento cuarenta	[siento cuarenta]	one hundred and forty

When learning any foreign language, knowledge of numbers is one of the important foundations, since numbers surround us everywhere, we encounter them when buying in a store, filling out questionnaires, ordering home delivery.

Today our Spanish expert, Natalya Volkova, will help you understand the Spanish account!

The numerals of the Spanish language are very similar to Russian in terms of the structure of education, so you can easily master them. And now we will make sure of this, and also learn how to count in Spanish.

Features of numbers and numbers in Spanish

1. Digit "0" ( cero) does not change.
2. Number "1" ( uno) reduced to -un before masculine words: un cuaderno - one notebook. And with feminine words, it changes to -una: una palabra - one word.
3. Numerals "16" ( dieciseis), "22" (veintidos), "23" (veintitres), and "26" ( veintiseis) are accented in writing.
4. Numerals from 16 to 19 and from 21 to 29 can be written both together and separately: "17" - diecisiete/diez y siete, "24" -veinticuatro/ veinte y cuatro.
5. Number "100" ( ciento) loses the "to" ending before nouns: cien libros - 100 books, cien páginas - 100 pages.
6. Numerals do not change by gender and number, but there are exceptions: hundreds from 200 to 900 change by gender before nouns. For example: En este barrio hay doscientas casas. - There are 200 houses in this quarter.
7. Numeral "21" ( veintiuno/ veintiun) can be used with words in the plural and in the singular: veintiún edificio or veintiun edificios - twenty-one buildings, veintiuna escuela or veintiuna escuelas - twenty-one schools.
8. The union "y" is used exclusively between units and tens: treinta y tres - thirty-three.
9. The numeral "billion" is replaced by mil millones de.... Mil millones de promesas - a billion promises.
10. Numerals cien, mil, million can play the role of nouns when they are in the plural. For example: Cientos espectadores me aplaudieron anoche - Hundreds of spectators applauded me last night.

When learning a language, one of the main goals is the ability to name numbers and numbers. Literally every conversation involves mentioning numbers, dates, times or the amount of something, so the ability to correctly name numerals is very important.

Numbers 0 - 10

• Numbers from 0 to 10 are easy to memorize. To do this, start repeating daily phone numbers, bank card accounts and cars: 048 236 08 92 (cero, cuatro, ocho, dos, tres, seis, cero, ocho, nueve, dos).

Number	Spanish	Pronunciation
0	Cero	Sero
1	Uno	Uno
2	Dos	dos
3	Tres	Tres
4	Cuatro	cuatro
5	Cinco	Cinco
6	seis	Sayes
7	Siete	Siete
8	Ocho	Ocho
9	Nueve	Nueve
10	Diez	Des

Remember! Spaniards often call numbers by units.

Numbers 11 - 19

• Numbers from 11 to 15 have unique shapes that need to be memorized.

Number	Spanish	Pronunciation
11	once	Onse
12	Doce	Dose
13	Trece	trese
14	Catorce	Catorce
15	Quince	kinse

• Numbers from 16 to 19 have a special education system: diec("10" - z changes to c, before i) + i + ending. For example: María tiene dieciocho años. - Maria is 18 years old.

Number	Spanish	Pronunciation
16	Dieciseis	Desiseis
17	diecisiete	Dyesisyete
18	Dieciocho	Desiocho
19	Diecinueve	Dyosinuewe

Dozens and hundreds

• With dozens from 20 to 90, everything is very simple and clear, just like in Russian: 35 - treinta y cinco (thirty and five). For example: He comprado cuarenta y tres lápices - I bought 43 (forty and three) pencils.

Number	Spanish	Pronunciation
20	Veinte	Wayente
30	Treinta	Treinta
40	Cuarenta	Quarenta
50	Cincuenta	Sincuenta
60	Sesenta	Sesenta
70	Setenta	satanta
80	Ochenta	Ochenta
90	noventa	Noventa

• Hundreds, in turn, are formed with the help of units and the word cientos/as(hundreds).
  For example: trescientos alumnos - three hundred schoolchildren, cuatrocientas invitaciones - four hundred invitations.
• Except "100" ( cien/ciento):En mi cuidad hay ciento cinco escuelas. - There are 105 schools in my city.

Number	Spanish	Pronunciation
100	Ciento	Siento
200	Doscientos	Dossientos
300	Trescientos	Transientos
400	Cuatrocientos	Cuatrosientos
500	Quinientos	Kinientos
600	Seiscientos	Seyssientos
700	Setecientos	Setesientos
800	Ochocientos	Ochosientos
900	Novecientos	Novesientos

thousands

• Thousands are formed using units and numerals mil. If you have mastered units, tens and hundreds, then there will be no problems with thousands. For example: "6647" - seis mil + seiscientos cuarenta y siete, or "9859" - Nueve mil + ochocientos cincuenta y nueve, "42.655" - cuarenta y dos mil seiscientos cincuenta y cinco.

Millions

• Millions are formed like thousands, but starting from 2000000, the word million has a plural. For example: El español hablan más de 400 millones de personas (cuatrocientas millones) - More than 400 million people speak Spanish.

Number	Spanish	Pronunciation
1000000	Un million	un miyon
2000000	Dos Millones	dos miyones
52000000	Сincuenta y dos millones	Cincuenta and dos miyones

Ordinals

• The forms of ordinal numbers just need to be learned, as they have unique forms. The good news is that the Spaniards almost never use them after decimo, they are replaced by quantitative ones.
• Important! Ordinal numbers have the gender and number of the nouns before which they are used, and they are usually preceded by the definite article. For example: el segundo capítulo - the second chapter, la sexta temporada - the sixth season.
• Remember! primero And tercero, lose the final "o" before the masculine.
  For example: el primer amor - first love, el tercer número - third number.

numeral	Spanish	Translation
1	primero/a/os/as	first / th
2	segundo/a/os/as	second
3	tercero/a/os/as	third
4	cuarto/a/os/as	fourth
5	quinto/a/os/as	fifth
6	sexto/a/os/as	sixth
7	septimo/a/os/as	seventh
8	octavo/a/os/as	eighth
9	noveno/a/os/as	ninth
10	decimo/a/os/as	tenth

Fractions

• Simple fractions look similar to Russian ones. To learn how to pronounce them, you need to remember: the numerator is a cardinal number, and the denominator is an ordinal number, you see how simple everything is.
• Before nouns, the fractional number agrees with it in gender and number: tres sextas partes de un melón - three-sixths of a melon.
• If the denominator is 11 or more, then it is denoted by a cardinal number, and then we add the suffix to it - avo/a/os/as.For example: 3/12 - tres doceavos or 11/36 - once treinta y seisavos.

Fraction	Spanish
1/2	un medio
1/3	un tercio
1/4	un cuarto
1/5	un quinto
1/6	un sexto
1/7	un septimo
1/8	un octavo
1/9	un noveno
1/10	un decimo
5/10	cinco decimo

• Decimals are easy to remember. They are denoted by ordinal numbers in the feminine gender:

Mathematical calculations

A small lesson in mathematics, because it is the basis of everything.

1. Formula when subtracting ( sustractionion) numerals: 4 - 2 = 2 - cuatro menos dos igual a cuatro.
2. Formula when adding ( adicion): 6 + 5 = 11 - seis más cinco igual a once.
3. Formula when multiplying ( multiplication): 2 x 2 = 4 - dos por dos igual a cuatro.
4. Formula when dividing ( division): 20: 4 = 5 - veinte entre cuatro igual a cinco.
