Let's learn how to count in Spanish! It's easier than you think.
First, you need to memorize the numbers from 1 to 15:
These numbers are formed by combining "dieci-" (meaning ten) with the numbers 6-9:
Notice that "dieci-" changes slightly to "dieciséis", "diecisiete", etc. This is just to make it easier to say.
The tens are mostly regular, just add "-enta" to the root:
"Veinte" is different, you have to memorize it. For 30-90, notice how it's similar to the numbers 3-9 (tres -> treinta, cuatro -> cuarenta, etc.).
For numbers 21-29, use "veinti" + the unit number. It's all one word:
For numbers 31-99, use the ten + "y" (meaning "and") + the unit:
The hundreds are mostly regular, you add "-cientos" to the root number:
"Cien" is used for exactly 100. For 101-199, you use "ciento": 101 is "ciento uno", 150 is "ciento cincuenta".
Notice that 500, 700, and 900 are irregular. You'll need to memorize those.
Combine these with the rules above. Examples:
The key is to break down large numbers into their parts (thousands, hundreds, tens, units) and then put them together using "y" between the tens and units, and spaces between the other parts.
