Twenty to a hundred
The twenties are written as one word — veinte fused with the unit:
21 veintiuno · 22 veintidós · 23 veintitrés · 24 veinticuatro · 25 veinticinco · 26 veintiséis · 27 veintisiete · 28 veintiocho · 29 veintinueve
Watch the accents on veintidós, veintitrés and veintiséis.
From thirty on, it's the ten, then y (and), then the unit — as separate words:
| Number | Spanish | Number | Spanish |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | treinta | 70 | setenta |
| 40 | cuarenta | 80 | ochenta |
| 50 | cincuenta | 90 | noventa |
| 60 | sesenta | 100 | cien |
- 31 treinta y uno · 45 cuarenta y cinco · 99 noventa y nueve
100 is cien on its own or before a noun — cien euros. It only becomes ciento when more follows: 101 ciento uno, 120 ciento veinte.
