Numbers
Numbers 30-100
After thirty, you carry on saying the number of tens and then the number of units, but you write them as separate words.
treinta - thirty
treinta y uno - thirty-one
Now you know all the numbers you need to say dates!
Mi cumpleaños es el treinta y uno de diciembre. - My birthday is the 31st December.
What about prices, or door numbers though? It helps to know some bigger numbers.
cuarenta - forty
cincuenta - fifty
cincuenta y seis - fifty-six
sesenta - sixty
setenta - seventy
ochenta - eighty
noventa - ninety
noventa y nueve - ninety-nine
cien - one hundred
Did you see the pattern with the '-ty' numbers? From thirty to ninety, they all end -NTA.
La pelota cuesta dos euros sesenta. - The ball costs €2,60.
You have to pay particular attention to sesenta (sixty) and setenta (seventy) - they're easy to confuse!
