Italian - Numbers 21 to 100 (trenta, quaranta...)

Count to one hundred to express larger amounts, state prices, and give your age.

To ask "how many," use quanto. Before plural nouns, it agrees in gender: quanti (masculine) and quante (feminine).

In Italian, you don't "be" an age; you "have" years. Ask someone's age using avere (to have) and anni (years).

How old are you?

How many euros do you have?

Notice how the numbers from forty to ninety all end in -anta.

I have thirty euros.

We have fifty euros.

They have one hundred euros.

Tens and single digits merge into a single word. Drop the final vowel of the ten before uno (1) and otto (8):

Before masculine nouns like anni, compound numbers ending in -uno drop their final o (ventun anni).

I am twenty-one years old.

There are twenty-one girls in this group.

You are twenty-eight years old, right?

For all other digits, attach the number without dropping any letters (e.g., trenta + cinque = trentacinque).

You have thirty-five euros.
