Numbers from 20 to 100 in Italian
To write the numbers from 20 to 99 in Italian, from here on, you just have to add the single number (1,2,3 till 9) to 20, 30, 40, 50,60, 70, 80 and 90 number.
How to say 20, 30, 40, 50,60, 70, 80 and 90 in Italian
10 DIECI | 20 VENTI | 30 TRENTA | 40 QUARANTA | 50 CINQUANTA |
60 SESSANTA
| 70 SETTANTA
| 80 OTTANTA
| 90 NOVANTA
| 100 CENTO |
| 10 DIECI
| 20 VENTI
| 30 TRENTA
| 40 QUARANTA
| 50 CINQUANTA
| 60 SESSANTA
| 70 SETTANTA
| 80 OTTANTA
| 90 NOVANTA
| 100 CENTO
So it will be:
venti (20) + due (2) = ventidue (22)
trenta (30) + sette (7) = trentasette (37)
quaranta (40) + nove (9) = quarantanove (49)
EXCEPTION: when you add the number 1 or 8 to the end.
In fact, the final vowel of the tens number disappears when you add uno (1) or otto (8).
venti (20) + uno (1) = ventuno (21 correct) – not ventiuno (incorrect)
venti (20) + otto (8) = ventotto (28 correct) – not ventiotto (incorrect)
cinquanta (50) + uno (1) = cinquantuno (21 correct) – not cinquantauno (incorrect)
settanta (70) + otto (8) = settantotto (78 correct) – not settantaotto (incorrect)
That is because Italian do not want two close vowels together
EXCEPTION: when you add the number 3 to the end.
When you add the number tre (3) to the end of a tens number, the final vowel (the e) becomes é (with the accent mark – notice the direction of it) and that final syllable is stressed.
ventitré (23)
trentatré (33)
ottantatré (83)
