Numbers in Spanish 1–100 (Plus Dates and Prices)
🇪🇸 Spanish · 100 cards · A1 · by Lucía Herrera
Numbers are everywhere — prices, ages, phone numbers, bus lines, birthdays — and they are where my students freeze first. Here you have 0 to 30 one by one, then the tens with a sample of the combinations that cause trouble, the hundreds, mil, un millón, and the ordinals primero to décimo. Three things to watch: 16–29 are written as one word (dieciséis, veintidós, veintinueve); any number ending in uno loses the -o before a masculine noun (veintiún años, treinta y un días); and cien becomes ciento from 101 on. The last cards cover money, years and dates. Say every example out loud — numbers stick in the mouth, not in the eyes.

Questions about this deck
- When do I say cien and when ciento?
- Cien is used for exactly 100, directly before a noun, and before mil or millones: cien euros, cien mil, cien millones. Ciento appears inside 101–199, with no y after it: ciento uno, ciento treinta y cinco. And 'per cent' is always por ciento: el veinte por ciento.
- Why is it veintiuno but veintiún años?
- Any number ending in uno drops the final -o before a masculine noun: veintiún años, treinta y un días, ciento un libros. Before a feminine noun it becomes -una: veintiuna chicas, treinta y una semanas. Standing alone, with no noun after it, you use the full form: Somos veintiuno.
- Do Spanish dates use ordinal numbers like English?
- No. Dates take ordinary cardinal numbers: el dos de mayo, el quince de agosto, el treinta y uno de diciembre. The only exception is the 1st: el primero de enero is standard in Latin America, while Spain normally says el uno de enero. Months are written in lowercase.
- How do I say prices and decimals in Spanish?
- Spanish uses a comma for decimals and a dot for thousands: 1.250,75. Prices are read with con: 3,50 € is tres euros con cincuenta, and in Spain you often hear just tres cincuenta. To ask, use ¿Cuánto cuesta? for one item, ¿Cuánto cuestan? for several, or simply ¿Cuánto es?
