483,382 – cuatrocientos ochenta y tres mil trescientos ochenta y dos.You need to put an un in this number to distinguish it from cuarenta mil (40,000).įorming new numbers with mil and un millón is pretty straightforward as well: The only time you'll see un mil is in numbers like cuarenta y un mil (41,000). For un millón, you can't leave out the un. The only two new words you need to learn are mil (1,000) and un millón (1,000,000). ochocient os libros = “eight hundred books”.setecient as personas – “seven hundred people”.These numbers have masculine and feminine forms, and so they must agree with the noun: (Note that you don't need to add y after ciento – it's ciento uno, not ciento y uno.)įor numbers from 200 to 999, you must first learn the multiples of 100. It includes fun, easy to follow lessons on Spanish numbers. Want to learn Spanish fast? Then check out our favourite Spanish course, SpanishPod101. 100 – cien (note the link with English words like “ century” or “per cent“.).zero – cero (this one should be easy to remember!).The only extra thing to be aware of is that numbers from 21-29 get contracted into a single word – so instead of “veinte y cuatro”, it's “veinticuatro”.For numbers above twenty, simply take the “tens” number (veinte, treinta, etc.) and the “ones” number (uno, dos, etc.) and stick y (“and”) in the middle.This is much like how in English 16 is “six-ten” i.e. 17 = “diez + y + siete” = “diez y siete”, which contracts to diecisiete. For numbers from 16-19, take the rightmost digit and say “diez + y + (digit)”.Then, you can fill in the gaps with a simple formula: Other than veinte (again), they all have a clear relationship with the related smaller number: cuatro cuarenta, ocho ochenta, etc.Other than veinte, they all end in -enta.
Learn the numbers for the multiples of ten: veinte, treinta, cuarenta, cincuenta, sesenta, setenta, ochenta, noventa.
There's no real pattern, you just have to learn them: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez, once, doce, trece, catorce, quince. I recommend you follow these steps to get all the numbers into your head: Take a look and try to spot the patterns.
