Did you know that "one billion" in American English isn’t equivalent to un billón in Spanish?
Stay tuned to learn the difference.
Hola a todos. Soy Rosa.
Hi everyone! I’m Rosa.
And I’m (name).
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use numbers in Spanish.
If you want to visit Spain or plan to move to the country for good, learning how to count, write, and pronounce numbers in Spanish is a must.
As you already know, numbers play a very important role in all of our lives, but things can get a little complicated if you don’t know how to use numbers in a different language. Don’t worry because that’s exactly what we’re going to teach you.
In this video you'll learn to count up to one hundred in Spanish.
Let’s start by learning how to say the numbers from 0 to 9.

It’s time for the numbers up to one thousand.
But first, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Remember that although one hundred is
cien
in Spanish, in the subsequent numbers, cien changes to ciento and is then followed by the remaining digits. For example, 101 is
Ciento uno
"One hundred one"
[SLOW] Ciento uno
Ciento uno
and
One hundred eighty-seven would be
Ciento ochenta y siete.
"One hundred eighty-seven"
[SLOW] Ciento ochenta y siete.
Ciento ochenta y siete.
As you can see, it’s quite different from the English language in that hundreds are written in one word. For example, doscientos (one word)
means "two hundred" (two words)
[SLOW] Doscientos
Doscientos
But what follows is similar to English wherein there’s a space and then the next number. For example, "eight hundred forty-two" would be
ochocientos cuarenta y dos in Spanish.
"Eight hundred forty-two"
[SLOW] Ochocientos cuarenta y dos
Ochocientos cuarenta y dos
Notice how the word "hundred" doesn't change in English, such as in one-hundred and two-hundred., but changes a little bit in Spanish. For example, for one hundred fifty-six, we’ll say
Ciento cincuenta y seis,
[SLOW] Ciento cincuenta y seis
Ciento cincuenta y seis
but for four hundred seventy, we’ll say
Cuatrocientos setenta.
[SLOW] Cuatrocientos setenta.
Cuatrocientos setenta.
As you can see, instead of ciento, we add the S at the end to make it plural when it’s more than one hundred. So it becomes cientos.
There are times where the number in front of cientos is the same word we learned from the start. For example,
Cuatrocientos
"Four hundred"
[SLOW] Cuatrocientos
Cuatrocientos
or ochocientos
"Eight hundred"
[SLOW] Ochocientos
Ochocientos
Some numbers that are a bit irregular are
Setecientos
"Seven hundred"
[SLOW] Setecientos
Setecientos
and novecientos
"Nine hundred"
[SLOW] Novecientos
Novecientos
They don’t exactly use the words
Siete
"Seven"
[SLOW] Siete
Siete
and nueve
"Nine"
[SLOW] Nueve
Nueve
Finally, the most irregular one,
Quinientos
"Five hundred"
[SLOW] Quinientos
Quinientos
sounds completely different than
Cinco
"Five"
[SLOW] Cinco
Cinco
and doesn't even end with
Cientos.
It’s a very unique number.
The words for hundreds can be either masculine or feminine, depending on the noun they’re modifying.
For example, T-shirts is a feminine word in Spanish, so for three hundred T-shirts we would say
Trescientas camisetas.
[SLOW] Trescientas camisetas.
Trescientas camisetas.
On the other hand, if we were talking about three hundred dishes, we would say
Trescientos platos.
[SLOW] Trescientos platos
Trescientos platos
You don’t need to worry about its gender if you’re just counting as it doesn’t really relate to any noun.
Now let’s begin reading numbers from 100 to 1,000 in Spanish:
Cien
"One hundred"
[SLOW] Cien
Cien
Ciento uno
"One hundred one"
[SLOW] Ciento uno
Ciento uno
Ciento dos
"One hundred two"
[SLOW] Ciento dos
Ciento dos
Ciento tres
"One hundred three"
[SLOW] Ciento tres
Ciento tres
Ciento diez
"One hundred ten"
[SLOW] Ciento diez
Ciento diez
