- 1 : uno
- 2 : dos
- 3 : tres
- 4 : cuatro
- 5 : cinco
- 6 : seis
- 7 : siete
- 8 : ocho
- 9 : nueve
- 10 : diez

1 100 Numbers In Spanish - Cardinals 11-20

- 11 : once
- 12 : doce
- 13 : trece
- 14 : catorce
- 15 : quince
- 16 : dieciséis
- 17 : diecisiete
- 18 : dieciocho
- 19 : diecinueve
- 20 : veinte

The Spanish numbers 16 through to 19 are actually contractions.

For example, the Spanish for 16 - dieciséis - literally means ten and six, but is joined together, as shown below:

- dieciséis = diez y seis
- diecisiete = diez y siete
- dieciocho = diez y ocho
- diecinueve = diez y nueve

1 100 Numbers In Spanish - Cardinals 21-30

- 21 : veintiuno
- 22 : veintidós
- 23 : veintitrés
- 24 : veinticuatro
- 25 : veinticinco
- 26 : veintiséis
- 27 : veintisiete
- 28 : veintiocho
- 29 : veintinueve
- 30 : treinta

You will notice that, like the cardinal numbers 16 to 19, the Spanish numbers 21 to 29 are also contractions, but this time of the Spanish for twenty and one, etc.

- veintiuno = veinte y uno
- veintidós = veinte y dos, etc

1 100 Numbers In Spanish - Cardinals 40-90

Let us now look at the Spanish numbers, going up in tens, from 40 to 90.

- 40 : cuarenta
- 50 : cincuenta
- 60 : sesenta
- 70 : setenta
- 80 : ochenta
- 90 : noventa

With these, you just have to add ... y uno, ... y dos, ... y tres onto them and they are not usually done as contractions. For example:

- 41 : cuarenta y uno
- 42 : cuarenta y dos
- 43 : cuarenta y tres
- 44 : cuarenta y cuatro
- 45 : cuarenta y cinco, etc
