Die Zehnerzahlen – The “ten numbers”

• 20 – zwanzig
• 30 – dreißig (with special letter ß!)
• 40 – vierzig
• 50 – fünfzig
• 60 – sechzig (without “s”)
• 70 – siebzig (“not “sieben”, just “sieb”!)
• 80 – achtzig
• 90 – neunzig
• 100 – (ein)hundert

Rule: Add “-zig” (= -ty in English) after the number and you are good to go! 🙂

Die Zahlen dazwischen – The numbers in between

• 21 – ein-und-zwanzig
• 22 – zwei-und-zwanzig
• 23 – drei-und-zwanzig

Rule: start with last number and put an “und” in between 🙂

Hint: “ein” does not have an “s” for these numbers (NOT eins-und-zwanzig, correct: ein-und-zwanzig)
