Numbers in Spanish 1–100
Here are the Spanish numbers from zero to a hundred.
NOTE: unlike in English, numbers like 76 aren’t just seventy-six. There’s an “and” in there. So it would be “setenta y seis”.
| Numbers | Spanish |
|---|---|
| 0 | Cero |
| 1 | Uno |
| 2 | Dos |
| 3 | Tres |
| 4 | Cuatro |
| 5 | Cinco |
| 6 | Seis |
| 7 | Siete |
| 8 | Ocho |
| 9 | Nueve |
| 10 | Diez |
| 11 | Once |
| 12 | Doce |
| 13 | Trece |
| 14 | Catorce |
| 15 | Quince |
| 16 | Dieciseis |
| 17 | Diesisiete |
| 18 | Diesiocho |
| 19 | Diecinueve |
| 20 | Veinte |
| 30 | Treinta |
| 40 | Cuarenta |
| 50 | Cincuenta |
| 60 | Sesenta |
| 70 | Setenta |
| 80 | Ochenta |
| 90 | Noventa |
| 52 | Cincuenta y dos |
| 35 | Trienta y cinco |
| 86 | Ochenta y seis |
| 67 | Sesenta y siete |
| 34 | Treinta y cuatro |
| 28 | Venitiocho |
| 54 | Cincuenta y cuatro |
| 72 | Setenta y dos |
| 100 | Cien |
Spanish Numbers: The Hundreds
A hundred in Spanish is “cien”. But this is just for 100. If it’s 101, it’s now “ciento y uno”, changing the cien to ciento.
The rest follow a simple rule:
Base number (2–9) + cientos
Some of them have little variations. Here they are:
| Numbers | Spanish |
|---|---|
| 200 | Doscientos |
| 300 | Trescientos |
| 400 | Cuatrocientos |
| 500 | Quinientos (Exception) |
| 600 | Seiscientos |
| 700 | Setecientos (Variation) |
| 800 | Ochocientos |
| 900 | Novecientos (Variation) |
| 598 | Quinientos noventa y ocho |
| 763 | Setecientos sesenta y tres |
| 358 | Trescientos cincuenta y ocho |
| 127 | Ciento veintisiente |
| 316 | Trescientos dieciseis |
| 789 | Setecientos ochenta y nueve |
| 651 | Seisientos cincuenta y uno |
| 992 | Novecientos noventa y dos |
Pretty simple. Next, we have thousands…
Spanish Numbers: The Thousands
“Mil” is not a million, as you may think. This ain’t gangsta rap.
Nope, “mil” is the Spanish word for “thousand”.
There aren’t any exceptions or variations for these, making it really easy.
We just use this rule:
Base number + Mil
| Numbers | Spanish |
|---|---|
| 1000 | Mil |
| 2000 | Dos mil |
| 3000 | Tres mil |
| 4000 | Cuatro mil |
| 5000 | Cinco mil |
| 6000 | Seis mil |
| 7000 | Siete mil |
| 8000 | Ocho mil |
| 9000 | Nueve mil |
| 10000 | Diez mil |
Let’s see some more complex combinations:
| Numbers | Spanish |
|---|---|
| 5,963 | Cinco mil novecientos sesenta y tres |
| 7,482 | Siete mil cuatrocientos ochenta y dos |
| 1,429 | Mil cuatrocientos veintinueve |
| 59,632 | cincuenta y nueve mil seisientos treinta y dos |
| 42,158 | Cuarenta y dos mil ciento cincuenta y ocho |
| 74,890 | Setenta y cuatro mil ochocientos noventa |
| 145,897 | Ciento cuarenta y cinco mil ochocientos noventa y siente |
| 415,820 | Cuatrocientos quince mil ochocientos veinte |
| 123,567 | Ciento veintitres mil quinientos sesenta y siete |
Spanish Numbers: The Millions
This is just like mil, but there’s a plural form for everything more than just one million.
One million is “millón”, and more than one uses “millones”.
| Numbers | Spanish |
|---|---|
| 1,000,000 | Un millón |
| 2,000,000 | Dos millones |
| 55,000,000 | Cincuenta y cinco millones |
| 120,000,000 | Ciento veinte millones |
| 72,785,145 | Setenta y dos millones setecientos ochenta y cinco mil ciento cuarenta y cinco |
| 459,840,000 | Cuatrocientos cincuenta y nueve millones ochocientos cuareta mil |
TIP: In many countries, this is written as “1’000.000″ instead of “1,000,000”. The ‘ is used instead of a comma for the millions, and the period is used instead of a comma for the rest.
