Imagine yourself at a local market in Latin America.

You find out that the seller only speaks Spanish. But after learning a few words such as ‘hello‘ and ‘you are welcome,’ you stopped learning more vocabulary. You never got the chance to practice the numbers in Spanish!

Now you are in the middle of a language barrier with many people waiting for their turn in line.

I understand how frustrating it can be when you are trying to communicate with a native speaker in their language. Still, the words just don’t come out.

Learning the numbers is one of the first steps to learning a new language, as we use them daily and everywhere.

So, in today’s article, you will get a complete easy guide to learning the Spanish numbers from 1 to 1000 and start counting to avoid those challenging situations.

Cardinal Spanish Numbers: An Easy Guide With Sounds

How To Say ‘Numbers’ In Spanish

Número: Number (Singular form)

¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? (What is your phone number?)

Números: Numbers (Plural form)

¿Cuáles numeros jugaste en la lotería? (What numbers did you play for the lottery?)

Spanish Numbers 1 To 10

Remember when you learned the basic numbers in your native language? Now you have to do the same but in Spanish. Start from the basic cardinal numbers until you reach 10, then move your way to count higher numbers until you reach 1000.

Counting the numbers isn’t hard for someone who has learned English numbers. You will see how many similarities they have!

So, how do you say the numbers from 1 to 10 in Spanish?

1- Uno

2- Dos

3- Tres

4- Cuatro

5- Cinco

6- Seis

7- Siete

8- Ocho

9- Nueve

10- Diez

Let’s see their translation and pronunciation.

Note: The pronunciations in the tables are Latin American Spanish accents, which differs from how people in Spain pronounce the names. Nevertheless, if you learn this accent, it will still be intelligible to how people in Spain speak ‘Castellano.’

Numeral	English	Spanish	Pronunciation/Sound
0	zero	cero	cero
1	one	uno	uno
2	two	dos	dos
3	three	tres	tres
4	four	cuatro	cuatro
5	five	cinco	cinco
6	six	seis	seis
7	seven	siete	siete
8	eight	ocho	ocho
9	nine	nueve	nueve
10	ten	diez	diez

Sometimes when you add the number 1 in front of a noun, it transforms from -‘ uno,’ to ‘-un.’ For example: ‘un gato’ (a cat.)

In addition, its ending will change depending on the gender. Masculine nouns will end in ‘-uno’ while feminine nouns end in ‘-una.’

For instance, the term ‘casa’ (house), which is feminine form, would use ‘una’ instead of ‘-uno’ or ‘-un.’ So it would be: “Una casa’ (a house).

Numbers In Spanish From 11 To 50

Learning the following numbers is so easy!

In this category, you will notice that the numbers until 15 end in “-ce.’ For these numbers, the first part is the unit, and the second is the ten. The number 11, for example, literally means: ‘one ten is 11’ and so on.

Furthermore, from 16 to 19, you will notice that all numbers have the base number as an ending. Ex: 19: (diecinueve – ‘nueve’ means 9!)

Numeral	English	In Spanish	Pronunciation/Sound
11	eleven	once	once
12	twelve	doce	doce
13	thirteen	trece	trece
14	fourteen	catorce	catorce
15	fifteen	quince	quince
16	sixteen	dieciséis	dieciséis
17	seventeen	diecisiete	diecisiete
18	eighteen	dieciocho	dieciocho
19	nighteen	diecinueve	diecinueve
20	twenty	veinte	veinte

21-30

Numeral	English	In Spanish	Pronunciation/Sound
21	twenty-one	veintiuno	veintiuno
22	twenty-two	veintidós	veintidós
23	twenty-three	veintitrés	veintitrés
24	twenty-four	veinticuatro	veinticuatro
25	twenty-five	veinticinco	veinticinco
26	twenty-six	veintiséis	veintiséis
27	twenty-seven	veintisiete	veintisiete
28	twenty-eight	veintiocho	veintiocho
29	twenty-nine	veintinueve	veintinueve
30	thirty	treinta	treinta

Some numbers that end in 0 are written with the ending ‘-enta,’ such as 30 (treinta). The exceptions to this rule are the numbers 10 (diez) and 20 (veinte).

From the number 30 onwards, it becomes even easier to count. As you stop combining the words’ veinti+nueve’ – 29, start separating and adding a ‘y’ (and).

Formula: ten + and + units

For example:

The number 36 is written down as: ‘treinta y seis.’

(10+3) + (y) + (6)

Let’s continue counting!

Numeral	English	In Spanish	Pronunciation/Sound
31	thirty-one	treinta y uno	treinta y uno
32	thirty-two	treinta y dos	treinta y dos
33	thirty-three	treinta y tres	treinta y tres
34	thirty-four	treinta y cuatro	treinta y cuatro
35	thirty-five	treinta y cinco	treinta y cinco
36	thirty-six	treinta y seis	treinta y seis
37	thirty-seven	treinta y siete	treinta y siete
38	thirty-eight	treinta y ocho	treinta y ocho
39	thirty-nine	treinta y nueve	treinta y nueve
