The numbers from 21 to 100
In the first lesson, we studied the Spanish numbers from 0 to 20. Now, we want to go one step further
and have a look at the numbers from 21 to 100.
This is how we count in Spanish in steps of ten:
 | 10 | diez | | 60 | sesenta |
| 20 | veinte | | 70 | setenta |
| 30 | treinta | | 80 | ochenta |
| 40 | cuarenta | | 90 | noventa |
| 50 | cincuenta | | 100 | cien |
Now have a look at the numbers from 21 to 29 in particular:
| 21 | veintiuno | | 26 | veintiséis |
| 22 | veintidós | | 27 | veintisiete |
| 23 | veintitrés | | 28 | veintiocho |
| 24 | veinticuatro | | 29 | veintinueve |
| 25 | veinticinco |
At last, we want to learn the numbers from 31 to 39 and try to notice a certain pattern, which we will
also be able to apply to the numbers from 41 to 49, 51 to 59 and so on and so forth.
| 31 | treinta y uno | | 36 | treinta y seis |
| 32 | treinta y dos | | 37 | treinta y siete |
| 33 | treinta y tres | | 38 | treinta y ocho |
| 34 | treinta y cuatro | | 39 | treinta y nueve |
| 35 | treinta y cinco |
If a number ends in '-uno' (e.g. 'treinta y uno'), and this number is placed in front of a noun, the number
has to match the noun in its gender. '-uno' then becomes '-un' in front of masculine nouns and '-una' in
front of feminine nouns.
| ¿Hay veintiun libros? | Are those 21 books? | | Sí, hay veintiuno. | Yes, those are 21. | | ¡Ay, no! Hay treinta y una personas. | No, there are 31 people. |
'Hay' can be translated into English by using 'there is' or 'there are' or 'it is'.
| Hay veintiséis estudiantes. | There are 26 students. | | Hay una profesora. | There is a teacher (feminine). |
To ask, how many there are of something, use the phrases ¿Cuántos hay? and ¿Cuántas hay?
| ¿Cuántos señores hay? | How many men are there? | | ¿Cuántas señoras hay? | How many women are there? |
Here are some more things related to school and the classroom that we can count in the exercise
thereafter.
