Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, I'll teach you how to pronounce numbers in Italian. In addition, you'll hear how to compose the numbers. I'll report them in the description of this episode. Take a look. Have a good time listening!

One digit numbers:

0 zero

1 uno

2 due

3 tre

4 quattro

5 cinque

6 sei

7 sette

8 otto

9 nove

“Irregular” two digit numbers:

11 undici

12 dodici

13 tredici

14 quattordici

15 quindici

16 sedici

17 diciassette

18 diciotto

19 diciannove

Two digit numbers with zero:

10 dieci

20 venti

30 trenta

40 quaranta

50 cinquanta

60 sessanta

70 settanta

80 ottanta

90 novanta

In order to form all other numbers, that is "regular" two digit numbers, there is a kind of rule: you have to join "two digit numbers with zero" and the one digit numbers, by making a kind of "addition".

20+5 = venticinque (25)

40+7 = quarantasette (47)

60+9 = sessantanove (69)

70+4 = settantaquattro (74)

BE CAREFUL: the numbers one (1) and eight (8) start with a vowel, therefore, in order to join them with the “numeri con lo zero” (ending with a vowel), you should remember not to pronounce (nor write) the final vowel of the “number with zero”. Here you are some examples:

20+1 = ventuno (21)

30+8 = trentotto (38)

60+1 = sessantuno (61)

Three digit numbers with two zeros:

100 cento

200 duecento

300 trecento

400 quattrocento

500 cinquecento

600 seicento

700 settecento

800 ottocento

900 novecento

As you can see, except for the first one (one hundred), all other three digit numbers with two zeros are formed by joining the one digit number + cento. In order to form all other three digit numbers you will just do another “addition”. Here you are some examples:

100+50+4 = centocinquantaquattro (154)

300+20+5 = trecentoventicinque (325)

700+90+8 = settecentonovantotto (798)

To conclude, we have the four digit numbers with three zeros; in order to form them, you should just join the one digit number to the word “mila“, except for mille (1000). Here you are the list:

2000 duemila

3000 tremila

4000 quattromila

5000 cinquemila

6000 seimila

7000 settemila

8000 ottomila

9000 novemila

For all other four digit numbers, the “addition” rule is still valid:

1000+900+40+5 = millenovecentoquarantacinque (1945)

2000+18 = duemiladiciotto (2018)

5000+30+5 = cinquemilatrentacinque (5035)
