Numbers 0-20 in Spanish

Here’s a simple list of numbers from 0 to 20 in Spanish:

Important Points to Remember

1. Numbers 0-10:

   • The first ten numbers (0-10) are special words you need to remember.
   • "Uno" means one. It's used as "un" for boy nouns and "una" for girl nouns.

2. Numbers 11-15:

   • The numbers from 11 to 15 (once, doce, trece, catorce, quince) are also special.
   • You should memorize these numbers since they don’t follow a common pattern.

3. Teen Numbers (16-19):

   • The numbers from 16 to 19 follow a pattern.
   • You create them by adding "diez" (ten) to the numbers 6 to 9:
     • dieciséis (10 + 6)
     • diecisiete (10 + 7)
     • dieciocho (10 + 8)
     • diecinueve (10 + 9)

4. Twenty (20):

   • "Veinte" is the word for 20.
   • This will help you as you start learning to count higher into the twenties.

Practice Exercise

Now it’s time to practice what you've learned! Try counting out loud in Spanish. You can also write the numbers down:

1. Write the numbers 0 to 20 in Spanish without looking at the list.
2. Match each number with something nearby. For example:
   • 1 libro (one book)
   • 2 mesas (two tables)
   • 3 sillas (three chairs)

Using Numbers with Other Words

As you learn these numbers, you’ll see how helpful they are with other words. Here are a few examples:

• Days of the Week: "Hoy es lunes, 1 de enero" (Today is Monday, January 1).
• Colors: "Tengo dos coches, uno rojo y uno azul" (I have two cars, one red and one blue).
• Family Members: "Tengo tres hermanos" (I have three brothers).

Conclusion

Counting from 0 to 20 in Spanish is a very useful skill that will help you a lot with the language. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be able to use these numbers easily in your conversations!
