In this lesson, we will be going over numbers 31 and above.
Números 30-90
30 treinta
40 cuarenta
50 cincuenta
60 sesenta
70 setenta
80 ochenta
90 noventa
Números 30+
Using “y” between the tenths and the ones when expressing numbers 30+ -99.
32 treinta y dos
43 cuarenta y tres
54 cincuenta y cuatro
65 sesenta y cinco
76 setenta y seis
87 ochenta y siete
99 noventa y nueve
Número 100
100 cien
Números 101+-199
For more than 100 and less than 200, the word “ciento” is used to refer to “100+”.
Cuántos, cuántas, hay and no hay
¿Hay cien personas en el concierto?
No, no hay cien personas en el concierto. Hay muchas personas más.
Counting numbers vs. Counting a noun with number “one”
“Uno” is used to count numbers, as in 1, 2, 3 etc. (uno, dos, tres, etc.). When counting a noun with “one”, "uno" needs to be modified to “un” or “una” depending on the gender of the noun that you are counting. Look at the examples.
¿Hay treinta y un días en el mes de febrero? (use treinta y “un” días -"días" is a masculine noun)
No, no hay treinta y un días en el mes de febrero. Hay veintiocho días.
¿Cuántas sillas hay en el salón de clase? (91 sillas) (use noventa y “una” sillas -"sillas" is a feminine noun)
Hay noventa y una sillas en el salón de clase.
¿Cuántos coches hay en este estacionamiento (parking)? (181 coches)
Hay ciento ochenta y un coches en este estacionamiento.
Números: Hundreds
You have learned in the previous chapter that "cien" is used for 100 and "ciento" is used for 101-199. Numbers starting with 200-900 will used the plural form of "ciento". Note the word "o" in "cientos" can be changed to "cientas" when counting the nouns that are feminine; but there is no difference when counting only numbers or nouns that are masculine.
| Number | Counting only | Masculine | Feminine |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | doscientos | doscientos | doscientas |
| 300 | trescientos | trescientos | trescientas |
| 400 | cuatrocientos | cuatrocientos | cuatrocientas |
| 500 | quinientos | quinientos | quinientas |
| 600 | seiscientos | seiscientos | seiscientas |
| 700 | setecientos | setecientos | setecientas |
| 800 | ochocientos | ochocientos | ochocientas |
| 900 | novecientos | novecientos | novecientas |
Ejemplos
The nouns and the gender agreement of the numbers will be highlighted in bold in the chart below.
| Number | Counting only | Counting using masculine nouns | Counting using feminine nouns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 251 | doscientos cincuenta y uno | doscientos cincuenta y un libros | doscientas cincuenta y una plumas |
| 575 | quinientos setenta y cinco | quinientos setenta y cinco libros | quinientas setenta y cinco plumas |
| 762 | setecientos sesenta y dos | setecientos sesenta y dos libros | setecientas sesenta y dos plumas |
| 999 | novecientos noventa y nueve | novecientos noventa y nueve libros | novecientas noventa y nueve plumas |
Números: Thousands
1.000 mil
2.000 dos mil
5.000 cinco mil
10.000 diez mil
17.000 diecisiete mil
50.000 cincuenta mil
100.000 cien mil
170.000 ciento setenta mil

- 10.000 - diez mil
- 100.000 - cien mil
- 1.000.000 - un millón
- decimals or cents, a comma is used. Modelo:
- US $30,25 - treinta dólares y veinticinco centavos
- US $0,99 - noventa y nueve centavos
- thousand and beyond, a period is used. Modelo:
Números: Millions
When counting millions in Spanish, the preposition "de" is used after the million (shown in bold). Look at the chart below. Note that there are no thousands, hundreds, tens nor ones after "millón" or "millones" when using "de".
| Number | Counting only | Counting nouns |
|---|---|---|
| 1.000.000 | un millón | un millón de dólares |
| 2.000.000 | dos millones | dos millones de personas |
| 12.000.000 | doce millones | doce millones de carros |
| 100.000.000 | cien millones | cien millones de casas |
| 1.000.000.000 | mil millones | mil millones de estrellas |
Modelo:
- ¿Cuántas personas hay en la ciudad de México, D.F.?
- Hay ocho millones ochocientas cincuenta y cinco mil personas en la ciudad de México D.F. (8.855.000 personas).
- ¿Cuántas personas hay en Madrid, España?
- Hay tres millones doscientas veintitrés mil personas en Madrid, España (3.223.000 personas).
Note that when counting nouns and expressing "hundreds", it needs to agree in gender with the noun used. The examples provided (above) are shown in bold.
