Numbers in Spanish 1-1000

Numbers in spanish 1-10

The first step in learning numbers in Spanish is to start small. We will begin with numbers from 1 to 10. This is a great foundation, and you'll find these numbers being used very frequently.

Numbers from 1 to 10

Number	Spanish
1	uno
2	dos
3	tres
4	cuatro
5	cinco
6	seis
7	siete
8	ocho
9	nueve
10	diez

It’s important to practice saying these out loud a few times. Once you feel comfortable with numbers from 1 to 10, you are ready to move on to larger numbers.

Numbers in spanish 1-20

Next, let’s look at numbers from 11 to 20. These are slightly different from numbers 1 to 10 because some of them have unique names.

Numbers from 11 to 20

Number	Spanish
11	once
12	doce
13	trece
14	catorce
15	quince
16	dieciséis
17	diecisiete
18	dieciocho
19	diecinueve
20	veinte

Notice that 11 to 15 have specific names, while 16 to 19 follow a pattern: they start with "diez" (which means ten) and then add a number. For example, "dieciséis" means "ten and six".

Numbers in Spanish from 21 to 30

Now, we move on to 21 to 30. These numbers are straightforward and follow a more consistent pattern.

Numbers from 21 to 30

Number	Spanish
21	veintiuno
22	veintidós
23	veintitrés
24	veinticuatro
25	veinticinco
26	veintiséis
27	veintisiete
28	veintiocho
29	veintinueve
30	treinta

From 21 onwards, you’ll see that "veinti-" is used as a prefix, and then the single-digit number is added. This pattern makes it easier to remember.

Numbers in Spanish from 31 to 100

After 30, numbers start to follow a very regular pattern. It’s all about combining the tens and the ones.

Key Tens in Spanish

Before moving on, it's important to learn the multiples of ten:

Number	Spanish
40	cuarenta
50	cincuenta
60	sesenta
70	setenta
80	ochenta
90	noventa
100	cien

Once you know these, creating numbers like 31, 42, or 56 becomes a breeze.

How to Count Numbers from 31 to 99 in Spanish

To create numbers between 31 and 99, use the tens word followed by "y" (which means "and") and then the single-digit number.

For example:

• 31: treinta y uno
• 42: cuarenta y dos
• 56: cincuenta y seis

This pattern continues until 99:

• 99: noventa y nueve

The Hundreds: 100 to 999

Moving beyond 100, things get a little more detailed. The number 100 in Spanish is cien, but when you’re counting above 100, it changes to ciento.

Numbers in Spanish from 100 to 199 in Spanish

• 100: cien
• 101: ciento uno
• 150: ciento cincuenta
• 199: ciento noventa y nueve

The rest of the hundreds also follow a predictable pattern:

Number	Spanish
200	doscientos
300	trescientos
400	cuatrocientos
500	quinientos
600	seiscientos
700	setecientos
800	ochocientos
900	novecientos

To create numbers like 245, you combine doscientos (200) with cuarenta y cinco (45): doscientos cuarenta y cinco.

Numbers in Spanish: 1,000 and Beyond

Once you reach 1,000, the word is mil.

Numbers from 1,000 to 9,999 in Spanish

The basic rule is quite simple:

• 1,000: mil
• 1,500: mil quinientos
• 2,000: dos mil
• 3,400: tres mil cuatrocientos

This rule continues until 9,999:

• 9,999: nueve mil novecientos noventa y nueve

Large Numbers

• 10,000: diez mil
• 100,000: cien mil
• 1,000,000: un millón

When talking about millions, remember that millón takes on an accent and changes slightly when plural: millones.

Decimals and Fractions in Spanish

Decimals

In Spanish, decimals are written with a comma (not a dot). For example:

• 3.5 (three point five) is written as 3,5 in Spanish, and you say tres coma cinco.

Spanish Common Fractions

• 1/2: un medio
• 1/3: un tercio
• 1/4: un cuarto
• 3/4: tres cuartos

Learning fractions helps with things like sharing food or explaining measurements.

Spanish Ordinal Numbers

Ordinal numbers are used to talk about order or ranking, like "first," "second," and so on.

Spanish Ordinal Numbers from 1st to 10th in Spanish

Number	Spanish
1st	primero
2nd	segundo
3rd	tercero
4th	cuarto
5th	quinto
6th	sexto
7th	séptimo
8th	octavo
9th	noveno
10th	décimo

Ordinal numbers are useful for dates, ranking, or identifying positions.
