| In this lesson, we're going to continue with counting as we cover numbers 11-100. |
| Let's just quickly review 0-10. |
| 0 - nul |
| 1 - een |
| 2 - twee |
| 3 - drie |
| 4 - vier |
| 5 - vijf |
| 6 - zes |
| 7 - zeven |
| 8 - acht |
| 9 - negen |
| 10 - tien |
| In Dutch, counting from 11-20 is also quite straightforward, so let's jump right in. |
| 11 - elf |
| 12 - twaalf |
| 13 - dertien |
| 14 - veertien |
| 15 - vijftien |
| 16 - zestien |
| 17 - zeventien |
| 18 - achtien |
| 19 - negentien |
| 20 - twintig |
| As you may have noticed, each number from 13 to 19 ends with -tien, which stands for "-ten." |
| What you have to do is take the numbers from 3-9 and then add -tien to it. |
| Now let's look at the numbers 20, 30, 40 etc. |
| 20 - twintig |
| 30 - dertig |
| 40 - veertig |
| 50 - vijftig |
| 60 - zestig |
| 70 - zeventig |
| 80 - tachtig |
| 90 - negentig |
| What about the numbers 21-99? |
| For example, let's create "twenty-nine." Keep in mind that, unlike English, you will say the last number first. |
| In Dutch, "twenty" is twintig. "Nine" is negen. We will replace the hyphen in English with en, which means, "and." So putting them together, we have negenentwintig, or "twenty-nine." |
| Let's break down this number and hear it once again. |
| Ne-gen-en-twin-tig. |
| Negenentwintig. |
| Now let's try with "thirty-five." |
| We know that "five" in Dutch is vijf. |
| Then we have to add the number for "thirty," which is dertig. |
| So all together, we have: Vijfendertig. ("thirty-five"). |
| Let's break these words down and hear them one more time: Vijf-en-der-tig. |
| Vijfendertig. |
| Finally, we have honderd ("100"). |
| 100 - honderd |
| To count from honderd onwards, you need to add the tens and then the units you have just learned. |
| Let's try with some examples. |
| 110 |
| honderdtien |
| 198 |
| honderdachtennegentig |
