Counting in German

I have this research in one site and i’d like to share this for those who like to learn German language. I hope this one is helpful. Next time i will also post another topic about how to speak in German.

Have A Nice Day! Let’s Learn Together….

NUmbers = Zahlen

One-Eins
Two-Zwei
Three-Drei
Four-Vier
Five-Fünf
Six-Sechs
Seven-Sieben
Eight-Acht
Nine-Neun
Ten-Zehn
Eleven-Elf
Twelve-Zwölf

To say a number in the teens, you put Zehn at the end of the number. Example “Thirteen” three+ten=thirteen Drei+Zehn= “Dreizehn”

Everyother number after that up to 100 you simple put “zig” at the end

Twenty-Zwanzig
Thirty-Dreizig
Forty-Vierzig
Fifty-Fünfzig
Sixty-Sechszig
Seventy-Siebzig
Eighty-Achtzig
Ninety-Neunzig
One Hundred- Einhundert

To make a two digit number above twenty, example: “24″ the “4″ comes before the twenty part. In English written out the word “24″ would be twentyfour, but in German the word is, “Vierundzwanzig”. The “4″ is placed infrount of the twenty part. Translated “Vierundzwanzig” would be “four and twenty”.

This rule is for every german number, 76 would be Sechsundsiebzig, 55 would become Fünfundfünfzig, 49 would become Neunundvierzig.

Hundred-Hundert
Thousand-Tausend
Million-Million
Billion-Milliarde
Trillion-Trillion

Also, in German, instead of writing there numbers above a thousand like this: 1,000 German’s write their numbers like this: 1.000
