No y after the hundreds: 105 is ciento cinco. Hundreds from 200 to 900 also have a feminine form ending in -as, such as doscientas personas.

Patterns

Rules that make Spanish numbers easy

Uno, un or una

Count with uno, but before a noun it becomes un (masculine) or una (feminine): un café, una mesa. The same goes at the end of bigger numbers: veintiún años, treinta y una personas.

Cien or ciento

Say cien for exactly 100 (cien personas, cien mil) and ciento for 101 to 199 (ciento veinte). Don't add y after it: ciento cinco, not ciento y cinco.

Learn three hundreds on their own

Quinientos (500), setecientos (700) and novecientos (900) don't follow the pattern of cinco, siete and nueve. The other hundreds are just the number plus -cientos.

Mil never changes, millón does

A thousand is just mil (not un mil), and two thousand is dos mil, never dos miles. Millón needs un and takes de before a noun: un millón de personas, dos millones de años.

A billion is mil millones

In Spanish, un billón is a million millions (a trillion in English). For the US billion, say mil millones.

Commas and periods can flip

Spain and much of South America write a thousand as 1.000 and use a comma for decimals (2,5). Mexico writes numbers the US way (1,000 and 2.5). Reading prices aloud in a shop role play, for example with a Tooter tutor, is the fastest way to get quick with them.

Use it

Numbers in everyday sentences

¿Cuánto cuesta?How much is it?
Son veinte pesos.It's twenty pesos.

Pesos in Mexico and several other countries; euros in Spain.

¿Cuántos años tienes?How old are you?

Literally "How many years do you have?"

Tengo treinta y dos años.I'm thirty-two years old.
Son las tres.It's three o'clock.

For one o'clock, say Es la una.

Una mesa para cuatro, por favor.A table for four, please.
Nací en mil novecientos noventa y cinco.I was born in 1995.

Years are read as one whole number, not in pairs as in English.

FAQ

Questions learners ask

How do you count to 10 in Spanish?

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez. Zero is cero.

When do you use uno, un or una?

Use uno when counting or when the number stands alone. Before a masculine noun it shortens to un (un libro, veintiún años), and before a feminine noun it becomes una (una casa, treinta y una personas).

How do you say 100 in Spanish?

Cien. It changes to ciento when another number follows: ciento uno (101), ciento cincuenta (150). Two hundred is doscientos.

Is it veintiuno or veinte y uno?

Veintiuno, written as one word. All numbers from 16 to 29 are single words; veinte y uno is an old spelling you may still see in older texts.

How do you say years in Spanish?

Read the whole number: 1995 is mil novecientos noventa y cinco, and 2026 is dos mil veintiséis. Spanish doesn't split years into pairs the way English does (nineteen ninety-five).

How do you say a million and a billion in Spanish?

A million is un millón, and two million is dos millones. The US billion is mil millones, because un billón means a trillion.

How do you say first, second and third in Spanish?

Primero, segundo, tercero, then cuarto, quinto, sexto, séptimo, octavo, noveno and décimo. Primero and tercero drop the -o before a masculine noun: el primer día, el tercer piso.

How do Spanish speakers say phone numbers?

Often in pairs: 55 12 34 becomes cincuenta y cinco, doce, treinta y cuatro. Some people read single digits instead, and habits vary by country, so copy what you hear.
