Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal
numbers are the numbers we use to count (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.).
The
spelling of "uno"
(one in English) will change depending on the gender of the noun it modifies.
"Uno" is spelled "un" before a masculine
noun and "una"
before a feminine noun. For example,
un
"Mil" (1000) is never pluralized however “million”
(1,000,000) is pluralized. For example, dos mil chicos (two thousand
boys) or dos millones de chicos
(two million boys).
Numbers 16
to 29 are commonly written as one word or as two words connected by
"y" (and). An accent is added to the one word spelling of 16,
22, 23 and 26. For example:
|
Number |
Spelling: One word |
Spelling: Two words and "y" |
|
16 |
Dieciséis |
Diez y seis |
|
17 |
Diecisiete |
Diez y siete |
|
22 |
Veintidós |
Veinte y dos |
|
23 |
Veintitrés |
Veinte y tres |
|
26 |
Veintiséis |
Veinte y seis |
|
28 |
Veintiocho |
Veinte y ocho |
"Cien" is
used for the number 100 and before
all nouns. When plural an -os
or -as
is added depending on the gender of the noun. For example:
|
