Spanish numbers 1 to 100

Numbers are some of the most useful words you'll learn — prices, times, dates, phone numbers, room numbers. The good news is Spanish numbers are wonderfully regular: learn 1 to 20 plus the tens, and you can build everything up to 100 from there.

1 to 20

Notice 16–19 are really "ten-and-six", "ten-and-seven"… written as one word: dieciséis = diez y seis.

The tens

Building everything in between

From 31 onward, just join the ten and the unit with y ("and"): treinta y uno (31), cuarenta y cinco (45), noventa y nueve (99). The only special case is the twenties, which contract into one word: veintiuno (21), veintidós (22), veintitrés (23).

One more note: 100 on its own is cien, but "one hundred and…" becomes ciento — so 101 is ciento uno.

Where beginners slip up

• Accents matter for pronunciation: dieciséis, veintidós, veintitrés carry a stress mark on the last syllable.
• Uno → un before a masculine noun: un euro, veintiún euros.
• Cinco, cincuenta — keep the soft "c" (an "s" sound in Latin America, "th" in Spain).

Make them stick by saying them

Numbers are pure recall — they live in your memory only if you say them often. Navoq drills them the useful way: inside real sentences like ordering, paying and telling the time, out loud, with feedback on your pronunciation. Count to 100 a few times and prices, times and dates stop being a scramble.
