Could you imagine how would the life be without knowing the numbers? How would you tell your age, your telephone number, your birthday… Luckily, with this video you will have no problems anymore! 😆
Numbers in Italian
Let’s work with categories!
One digit numbers
0 zero
1 uno
2 due
3 tre
4 quattro
5 cinque
6 sei
7 sette
8 otto
9 nove
“Irregular” two digit numbers
11 undici
12 dodici
13 tredici
14 quattordici
15 quindici
16 sedici
17 diciassette
18 diciotto
19 diciannove
Two digit numbers with zero
10 dieci
20 venti
30 trenta
40 quaranta
50 cinquanta
60 sessanta
70 settanta
80 ottanta
90 novanta
In order to form all other numbers, that is “regular” two digit numbers, there is a kind of rule: you have to join “two digit numbers with zero” and the one digit numbers, by making a kind of “addition“.
20 + 5 = venticinque (25)
40 + 7 = quarantasette (47)
60 + 9 = sessantanove (69)
70 + 4 = settantaquattro (74)
… and so on.
BE CAREFUL: the numbers ONE (1) and EIGHT (8) start with a vowel, therefore, in order to join them with the “numeri con lo zero” (ending with a vowel), you should remember not to pronounce (nor write) the final vowel of the “number with zero”. Here you are some examples:
20 + 1 = ventuno (21)
30 + 8 = trentotto (38)
60 + 1 = sessantuno (61)
Let’s now move to…
Three digit numbers with two zeros
100 cento
200 duecento
300 trecento
400 quattrocento
500 cinquecento
600 seicento
700 settecento
800 ottocento
900 novecento
As you can see, except for the first one (one hundred), all other three digit numbers with two zeros are formed by joining the one digit number + cento.
In order to form all other three digit numbers you will just do another “addition”. Here you are some examples:
100 + 50 + 4 = centocinquantaquattro (154)
300 + 20 + 5 = trecentoventicinque (325)
700 + 90 + 8 = settecentonovantotto (798)
To conclude, we have the four digit numbers with three zeros; in order to form them, you should just join the one digit number to the word “mila“, except for mille (1000). Here you are the list:
2000 duemila
3000 tremila
4000 quattromila
5000 cinquemila
6000 seimila
7000 settemila
8000 ottomila
9000 novemila
For all other four digit numbers, the “addition” rule is still valid:
1000 + 900 + 40 + 5 = millenovecentoquarantacinque (1945)
2000 + 18 = duemiladiciotto (2018)
5000 + 30 + 5 = cinquemilatrentacinque (5035)
