Basic German. In the lesson today you will learn the German numbers from 20 to 100. Los geht's! (Let's start!)
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)
