Additionally, same as in English, we should say the number first and then the word “Hundred” – this time, in plural:Īt this point, you are able to reply to either of the questions we mentioned towards the beginning.

101 is ciento uno 102 is ciento dos 103 is ciento tres.

The numbers from 21 to 29 are similar to those in English in terms of how the words are built: Twenty-One, Twenty-Two… which becomes veintiuno, veintidó s and so on…įrom 30 on, one says treinta (thirty) or cuarenta (forty) plus either number from one to ten, depending on which number you are referrring to:

UNO(one) – it will always come out as UNO if it's on its own, but you should make adjustments when used next to noun: UN PERRO (if masculine) or UNA PERRA(if femenine).
