• 17 diecisiete
• 18 dieciocho
• 19 diecinueve
• 20 veinte
• 21 veintiuno

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

31 and above

From 31, use y (and) with separate words:

• 31 treinta y uno
• 45 cuarenta y cinco
• 99 noventa y nueve

100

cien is used for exactly 100 and before nouns: cien euros. For 101 to 199, it becomes ciento: ciento uno.

Uno changes

uno shortens before a masculine noun and becomes una before a feminine one:

• un libro, one book
• una mesa, one table
• veintiún libros, twenty-one books
• veintiuna mesas, twenty-one tables

Using numbers

• Tengo veinticinco años. I am 25 years old.
• Son cuarenta euros. That's 40 euros.
