Spanish Numbers 1-1000

Learning the Spanish numbers, can be more than useful in countless situations, e.g: when we tell the time, when we speak about age, when we talk about distances, when we talk about money and prices, when we make measurements… For this reason, lessons about numbers in any language, will always be among the first lessons that you will learn.

Spanish Numbers 1-30

Because almost any counting starts with the number one and among you may be someone who is wondering how is the number zero called in Spanish, for all of you who have the same question, the number zero in Spanish is called cero and it’s pronounced say-ro, like the word say and the first two letters from the English word row.

English Spanish Pronunciation one uno oo-noh two dos dohs three tres trehs four cuatro kwah-troh five cinco seen-koh six seis says seven siete syeh-tay eight ocho oh-choh nine nueve nway-vay ten diez dyehs eleven once ohn-say twelve doce doh-say thirteen trece treh-say fourteen catorce kah-tohr-say fifteen quince keen-say sixteen dieciséis dyeh-see-says seventeen diecisiete dyeh-see-syeh-tay eighteen dieciocho dyeh-syo-choh nineteen diecinueve dyeh-see-nweh-vay twenty veinte behn-tay twenty-one veintiuno behnti-oo-noh twenty-two veintidós behnti-dohs twenty-three veintitrés behnti-trehs twenty-four veinticuatro behnti-kwah-troh twenty-five veinticinco behnti-seen-koh twenty-six veintiséis behnti-says twenty-seven veintisiete behnti-syeh-tay twenty-eight veintiocho behnti-oh-choh twenty-nine veintinueve behnti-nway-vay thirty treinta trehn-tah

Second step is to learn how to count from 31 to 99 in Spanish.

Numbers in Spanish from 31 to 99 are formed according to the following pattern: tens y units. e.g: treinta y cinco (thirty-five), cincuenta y ocho (fifty-eight), ochenta y tres (eighty-three).

The letter y is used to separate tens from units only for numbers between 31 to 99 (131 to 199, 231 to 299, 331 to 399…) it is not used to separate tens from hundreds or hundreds from thousands.

The most important thing to remember from this second table are the names of the tens. Since you already know the numbers from 1 to 30, this second table will start from 31.

Number In Inglés In Spanish Pronunciation 31 thirty-one thirty-one trehn-tah-oo-noh 32 thirty-two thirty-two trehn-tah-oo-DOHS 33 thirty-three thirty-three trehn-tah-oo-trehs 39 thirty -nine thirty nine trehn-tah-oo-nway-vay 40 forty forty kwah-rehn-tah 50 fifty-fifty seen kwehn-tah 60 sixty sixty-sehn-tah say 70 seventy seventy-tehn-tah say 80 eighty eighty oh chen-tah 90 ninety ninety-noh-tah Vehn 91 ninety-one ninety-one noh-Vehn-tah-oo-noh 92 ninety-two ninety-two noh-Vehn-tah-oo-DOHS 93 ninety ninety-three three noh-Vehn-tah-oo-trehs 99 ninety-nine ninety-nine noh-Vehn-tah-oo-nway-vay

Pay extra attention to numbers sesenta (sixty) and setenta (seventy) because they can be easily confused. All the exact tens from 30 to 90 end in ‘-nta‘.

The third step is learning how to count from 100 to 1000 and also how to count 1000s in Spanish.

With some small exceptions, all the rules that you have learned so far about Spanish numbers, are also applied to hundreds and thousands, the small differences are maid by the numbers: quinientos (five hundred), setecientos (seven hundred) and novecientos (nine hundred).

Number In Inglés In Spanish 100 one hundred percent 154 one hundred and fifty-four hundred and fifty four 200 two hundred two hundred 300 three hundred three hundred 400 four hundred four 500 five hundred five hundred 600 six hundred six hundred 700 seven hundred seven 800 eight hundred eight 900 nine one thousand nine hundred thousand 1000 2000 2445 two thousand two thousand two thousand four hundred and forty-five two thousand four hundred forty-five 3000 three thousand three thousand

An easily observed pattern, for the numbers between 100 and 1000, is that all the exact hundreds from 200 to 900 end in ‘-ientos‘.

When and How to use the Spanish numbers:

In Spanish there is a short form of the number one hundred (ciento), this shortened form is used only when the number is before a noun and it’s exactly one hundred (ciento), e.g: cien dólares.

Some numbers in Spanish when are prior to a noun, they change their form according to the noun gender. Spanish numbers that are changing according to the noun gender, are:

- One (one): masculine - A / feminine - A

– numbers ending in one (uno): when you have to change the form of a number ending in one (uno) you will need to change only the form of the final one (uno) according to the noun gender, the rest of the number remains the same.
