Spanish Numbers 1 to 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Number<\/th>Spanish (with Audio)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1<\/td>Uno<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>Dos<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>Tres<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>Cuatro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>Cinco<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6<\/td>Seis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/td>Siete<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8<\/td>Ocho<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
9<\/td>Nueve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10<\/td>Diez<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Note: <\/b>When it comes before a masculine noun, uno\u00a0<\/em>becomes\u00a0<\/b>un. <\/em>For example,\u00a0un espejo<\/em> (one mirror).<\/p>\n

Spanish Numbers 11 to 30<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Number<\/th>Spanish (with Audio)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
11<\/td>Once<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
12<\/td>Doce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
13<\/td>Trece<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
14<\/td>Catorce<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
15<\/td>Quince<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
16<\/td>Diecis\u00e9is<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
17<\/td>Diecisiete<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
18<\/td>Dieciocho<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
19<\/td>Diecinueve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
20<\/td>Veinte<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
21<\/td>Veintiuno<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
22<\/td>Veintid\u00f3s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
23<\/td>Veintitr\u00e9s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
24<\/td>Veinticuatro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
25<\/td>Veinticinco<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
26<\/td>Veintis\u00e9is<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
27<\/td>Veintisiete<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
28<\/td>Veintiocho<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
29<\/td>Veintinueve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
30<\/td>Treinta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Note:<\/strong> See how diecis\u00e9is<\/em>\u00a0(16) is made up of diez <\/em>(10) and seis<\/em> (6), which together make 16? This idea of combining numbers will be a common theme throughout this post.<\/p>\n

When they’re paired with masculine nouns, we also shorten numbers that end in uno<\/em> to \u00fan<\/em> <\/strong>(note the accent). So it’s veinti\u00fan espejos\u00a0<\/em>(21 mirrors) because espejos\u00a0<\/em>is masculine.<\/p>\n

Spanish Numbers 40 to 100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Number<\/th>Spanish (with Audio)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
40<\/td>Cuarenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
50<\/td>Cincuenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
60<\/td>Sesenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
70<\/td>Setenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
80<\/td>Ochenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
90<\/td>Noventa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
100<\/td>Cien<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Note: <\/strong>To make specific numbers past 30, you have to use y <\/em>(and) to connect the 10s with the 1s. For example:<\/p>\n

33 is treinta y<\/strong> tres<\/em><\/p>\n

65 is sesenta y<\/strong> cinco<\/em><\/p>\n

For more practice with Spanish numbers 1 to 100, I recommend watching this comprehensive video from Butterfly Spanish on YouTube:<\/p>\n

Spanish Numbers 100 to 1000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Number<\/th>Spanish (with Audio)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
40<\/td>Cuarenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
50<\/td>Cincuenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
60<\/td>Sesenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
70<\/td>Setenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
80<\/td>Ochenta<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
90<\/td>Noventa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
100<\/td>Cien<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Note:<\/strong> C<\/em>ien\u00a0<\/em>is only used to say 100 even\u2014anything above that and we’ll use\u00a0ciento<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s also no y <\/em>used with these larger numbers because the y<\/em> is only used to separate the 10s from the 1s<\/strong> (42 =\u00a0cuarenta y dos<\/em>) but not the 100s from the 10s (142 =\u00a0ciento cuarenta y dos<\/em>).<\/p>\n

So, following this pattern, 104 is ciento cuatro.\u00a0<\/em>147 is ciento cuarenta y siete<\/em>\u00a0not\u00a0<\/strong>ciento y cuarenta y siete.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also remember:<\/p>\n
